the biggest fair in America, apparently, and it is so chock-full of

Iowa always claims this but in reality they are a distant second to the
Minnesota State Fair. Take a trip to a real fair Jay, it starts this
Thursday and continues thru Labor Day. Land at STP and you'll be
minutes away from heaven.
