Okay, but (butt??) we give you credit for the sentiment.
	The flag has been raised. The 1st anniversary of 9/11 is coming up soon, and there is a very patriotic feeling at the fair, as expressed by clothing and flags.
	Here is the main entrance to the fair taken from inside the fair.
	Now we are in the crafts building. Many, many people submit every kind of hand made thing to vie for ribbons. This is stitch work ...
	These two ladies are admiring something or other. Part of my record of the day is to record the *people* at the fair, since they are easily as interesting as the things at the fair.
	It is a good bet this woman is a weaver.
	Someone sewing.
	I think this woman is at the Betty Crocker kitchen. She cooks good things to eat and then the crowd gets to sample it. I hope her assistant remembers to wash her hands ...
	Look how engrossed both the demonstrator and his potential customers are. For some reason, he usually is just about sold out of his wares, so if you want a super duper peeler you better get you money out now!
	"May the blessing of this peeler lay open you hearts and make you excepting of my sales pitch! Amen."
	This woman cleaned my wife's and my wedding rings for a quarter each. We declined to purchase a bottle of the miracle cleaning solution. I tipped this woman a whole buck.
	Just a woman from Allina medical spending her Saturday afternoon handing out brochures at the state fair.
