The Minnesota State Fair Is Preparing to Open To Kick Off Summer

People go to the Minnesota State Fair for a variety of different reasons but one of the main things people go for is the delicious food. State Fair officials just released their top-earning food vendors from the 2021 "Great Minnesota Get Together" and to no one’s surprise, Sweet Martha was #1. You might be surprised to see how much money was made off of those chocolate chip cookies though. Read about that and the other top vendors below.
