I think traditions are not only special but sacred. (This is probably why I love holidays so much!) 😍 Something as simple as weekly wine nights with your gals or yearly trips to the same destination have a sense of nostalgia and simplicity that cannot be trumped. This year it would’ve been my 10th consecutive year at the @mnstatefair. Every year, I’d fuel up with a Pronto Pup, some uniquely-flavored local brews and sample at least one new food. The Sweet Corn Ale from years ago is still my favorite. I dare you to @ me! 😜 I can also attest that stuffed cabbage rolls on a stick are messy but to die for! 🤤 Unfortunately, this tradition won’t continue this year. No Princess Kay of the Milky Way coronation. No long walks of dragging my friends and family to live through my beautiful rendition of 80s classics at the Giant Singalong. No perusing the innovative Grand Stand or artistic 4-H buildings. No, fresh Sweet Martha’s Cookies?! 😭 But I can wait and all my traditions can be kept alive. It’ll be a bittersweet couple of weeks, but we can get through this. 🤗 Though it’s sad to see The Greatest Get-Together canceled, I’m optimistic that in 2021, it’ll be sweeter and tastier than ever. Share your favorite state fair memories and drool-worthy eats in the comments! Let’s celebrate the years of memories. We’ll see you soon Fairchild and Fairborne 💕 . . . . . . #visitmn #visitminnesota #onlyinmn #mncommunity #minnstagrammers #bestofminnesota #exploremn #twincities #mnstatefair #thegreatgettogether #localrecommendation #getlost #traveldeeper #responsibletravel #quirkymn #travelwriter #travellocal #goodiefoodie #traveldeeper #foodonastick #fair #carnival https://www.instagram.com/p/CAf27IFBQh_/?igshid=18rbu2sjnei86
