 A portion of the southeast corner of the Minnesota State Fair cattle barn collapsed Tuesday evening. Officials say the collapse occurred due to the weight of snow on the roof. Firefighters were on scene most of Tuesday night. The part of the structure that collapsed was used to house the state fair trailers and other equipment. According to the state fair website, the over 1700 square foot cattle barn is nearly a century old. The brick structure can house up to 1000 head of cattle during the fair. And in a statement, the Minnesota State Fair said the rest of the building remains structurally sound. But the weight of that snow was just utterly too much for the structure to handle. And you know, if they don't have it fixed in time for the fair, they'll have to move the cattle over to another. I'm sorry, folks. I'll end the cheesy puns there.
