By far the best fair in northern MN. Now I'm not into midway stuff, so I don't count that at all in my ratings. First the place is accessible. You don't have to walk miles just to get to the gates. Prices are reasonable to enter, even the food is reasonable. And there are some varieties. You can clog an artery with deep fried Oreos, or have an egg roll. This fair has vendors. We have found vendors few and far between at other fairs in the area. Which I found very strange. The crowds? Not oppressive. I don't enjoy the huge fair because there are simply way too many people. This fair is well organised. And it shows. Its clean compact and the facilities are well stocked
