This past year Theo's best friend moved to Owatonna. When we came down last May for his birthday party I saw a sign for the Steele County Fair and knew we had to come back for it. First stop is the lemonade stand.
Then we hit up the daredevil show.
After going to the RV show last February, Theo gets excited to tour campers.
They're fun to look at it or rent, but sorry bud, we're sticking to tents for the most part.
You know I love a fair that is connected to the historic village.
I don't know if this is a common thing, but a few of the county fairs around here have little history centers right on their fairgrounds.
We were surprised the church was air conditioned. We may have stayed in here awhile.
The highlight was the old home. I also recently took the kids to the Fillebrown House in White Bear Lake.
Theo and I looked ahead while Brooke and Meadow took their time looking through the house.
It was nice to cool down for a bit longer.
The 4-H buildings are always one of my favorite stops
The cars from every decade exhibit was pretty cool too.
They were all Dodges and Plymouths. They must've been all been owned by one gearhead.
IFYKYK
Of course Theo had to get cotton candy.
Is bingo also a Minnesota county fair thing? I'm not sure I remember a bingo tent at any fairs over in Wisconsin.
No winnings again this time.
I thought we'd go on rides, but Theo only wanted to go on the rollercoaster. So I tagged along.
Only $20 to ride too.
County fair > state fair.
For some reason we headed home before dark. But I think we had a great time as always. I wonder which county fair we'll go to next?
The next day we got to go to a Twins game.
Our aforementioned friends who had moved down to Owatonna invited us since they had a few extra tickets. The seats were stellar.
Being that it was kids day, they let the kids run the bases after the game.
We then treated Theo to Bebezito for ice cream.
Mmmmmm...
