  f15.jpg The buildings have become very crowded.
  f16.jpg Let's just mosey on thru here ...
  f17.jpg Some woman is giving me the evil eye.
  f19.jpg Back outside again. I prefer the crowed outdoors to the crowded indoors.
  f20.jpg Here is the signature sight at the Minnesota State fair - the slight rise in the road lets you look far down one of the long streets and the huge crowd stretches out before you.
  f21.jpg Here we are in the dairy building. Here you get your cheese curds and ice cream - cones or a sundae. You can also get a very inexpensive glass of milk.
  f22.jpg The fair doesn't have a tunnel of love, but does have the old mill ride, which amounts to the same thing. Couldn't help humming Bruce Springsteins "Tunnel of Love" to myself as we waited in line.
  f23.jpg The water looks positively horrid. The ride itself was long and totally dark!
  f24.jpg I asked these girls if I could take their picture. I should have asked just what they were selling.
  f25.jpg Every election year state and national candidates man booths at along the broad avenues of the fairgrounds. 2002 is an election year, and Margaret looks at literature for Tim Penny, Independent party Gubenatorial hopeful.
  f26.jpg Here is Tim - he used to be a U.S. Congressman from southern Minnesota. He retired from politics for a number of years, fed up with partianship. Now that Governor Jessie Ventura won't run again, Penny came forward as the Independant party candidate.
