The Minnesota State Fair is the state fair of the U.S. state of Minnesota. Its slogan is "The Great Minnesota Get-Together." It is the largest state fair in the United States by average daily attendance. It is also the second-largest state fair in the United States by total attendance, trailing only the State Fair of Texas, which generally runs twice as long as the Minnesota State Fair. Residents of the state and region come to the fair to be entertained, exhibit their best livestock, show off their abilities in a variety of fields including art and cooking, learn about new products and services, and eat many different types of food—often on a stick.
Join us on Friday, Aug 31 from 1800-2300 (23-04z) as we commemorate this annual tradition with a Friday Night Ops featuring the Minneapolis area. Bring your IFR, VFR, air carrier, and general aviation traffic in and out of Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, St. Paul Downtown Airport, or any of our other Minneapolis area fields. Stop by, indulge in whatever deep-fried delicacies strike your fancy, and then wing your way across the country!
