A Trip to the State Fair

We made our annual trip to the Minnesota State Fair.
A John Deere powered Ice Cream parlor. Fred flirting with Mudanna, the mascot of the St. Paul Saints.
Walking down toward the fairway. What a crowd of people. Liz pretending to be a Turkey. Kate and Gerardo pretending to be cheese and milk.
My buddy the Spam guy. Spam is one of the major exports from Minnesota.
Isn't this something. I had one just like it many years ago.
This is the neatest food we saw. It is a potato cut up with an apple peeler and a hot dog pushed through where the core was. It is then deep fat fried. I am going to try to make some.
This was the most interesting tractor at the fair. I made a movie of it running.

To see a restored Mogul, go to the August 2008 post on my blog and scroll down... There are only five Moguls known to exist: one in Illinois, one in Ohio and three in Minnesota. Only one has been restored. :-)

mmm, deep fried potato and hot dog. Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
