 Well, we're only a few hours away from the start of the 12 best days of summer for some. The Minnesota State Fair officially kicks off tomorrow with gates opening at 6 a.m. All around the fairgrounds, workers and vendors were busy today installing rides, setting up booths and unloading boxes and boxes of food to last throughout the event. Miller concessions joined the state fair's list of vendors in 2017. Last year, the food booth sold over 34,000 pounds of cheese curds. With one year under their belt, they're now ready for another 12 days of food and fun. Yeah, we're buttoning up last minute, getting everything ready to go for tomorrow's big opening day. And just odds and ends, it's a never-ending process. We were pretty prepared last year. We just, our back set up area, we kind of streamlined it so we should be a little more efficient. And as long as the people are there, I think we're going to be ready for them. Josh Peterson will be out and about around the fair, bringing us stories on a stick all next week. The Minnesota State Fair runs from tomorrow through Labor Day. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
