State Fair rejection 2026

I'm starting a new tradition of sharing the photo I submitted to the Minnesota State Fair fine arts competition... since it will not be displayed at the State Fair :-(. This year I decided to highlight my concert photography by picking one of hundreds of photos I have taken of the Minnesota Saints Chorale & Orchestra during their Lamb of God concerts over the years. I called it "Witnesses."


We'll try again next year!

Minnesota State Fair 2024

The fair opened an hour or two late on Tuesday morning because of storm damage from the night before, so we had a false start out the door. We went back home, waited a bit, and then ended up driving the whole way in on account of the park-and-rides still being closed, which ended up working out fine (the traffic up Snelling was not horrible).

As usual, cookies were still the first stop:

We have a new appreciation for SpongeBob in this family.



These were the best cheese curds!
 

On the left: Omri, his momma, and some chicken tenders. On the right: the much-discussed deep fried ranch.

The kids decided they were too old for the kidway and too young for the midway, so we didn't go on many rides. All in all, it was a good year at the fair.

State Fair submission 2024

Well, my photo did not make the cut for the State Fair fine arts exhibit this year. It is not my first rejection, and it won't be my last.


(Omri took the below photo of me and my submission.)
 

And here's a closer look:

Minnesota State Fair 2023

We made it to the State Fair again this summer, although I missed the first half of the outing due to a work meeting.

 

I missed our annual cookie breakfast :-( and have limited photos from the day.



Luckily R did a great job of taking over for me. The rest of these photos were taken by her.






Cooling off:


Okay, this selfie is kind of fun. We are with Jill, a friend of my mother-in-law's who acted in Twin Peaks. She played a waitress in a few scenes, including this famous one. She is also married to a writer/producer of the show (Bob Engels) and is friends with none other than David Lynch! She gave me some exclusive info on what the director has (and has not) been working on.
