This unpretentious little barn has the capability of unleashing one of the most powerful forces for good known to man…the maple nut ice cream cone. Freeborn County Fair in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

A Bruno’s Corn Dog is a traditional; fair fare for me.

Ole and Lena are famous in Minnesota because of the endless supply of Ole and Lena jokes. This Ole and Lena are not those people and their onion rings and cheese curds are no joke. They are delicious.

This world-class popcorn has been provided to fairgoers by three generations of popcorn makers. It’s mighty good and then some.

Security abounds at the Fair.

A lot of people might find this tool useful after they take a long hike around the fairgrounds on a hot day.

Some wit had turned the “H” in “WITH” backward.

I love this from the 4-H Building.
