Someone's little lamb.
	What would agriculture be without giant pumpkins? You can get a free pamphlet on how to grow your own giant pumpkins. The secret is to bury the runners so they root and provide nourishment to only one big yellow orb.
	This picture is not in focus, but just shows how many folks just wander around looking at any and everything.
	Margaret scores our Tom Thumb mini doughnuts. These miniature doughnuts are cooked up right before your eyes and sold in sugary bags of thirteen doughnuts each. Best eaten hot right out of the oil.
	This is a crowded Saturday.
	We are going to go up in the space ride. You get a pretty good view of the fairgrounds and both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.
	I had better pay attention, I think that old lady in the purple shirt is after our doughnuts.
	For what it's worth, downtown St. Paul looking across it's city neighborhoods.
	The Minneapolis skyline. The ride rotates 360 degrees as you ascend and then descend.
	A good shot of the midway. Because the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota emphasizes agriculture, there are many open fields in what is the middle of a very urban area.
	There are several small bandstands scattered around the fair. We walked by this one as they announced that they were going to raise the U.S. flag.
	Haul away, my good man. Thank you for your service.
