"The Minnesota State Fair is one of the largest and best-attended expositions in North America. In addition to being a showcase for Minnesota’s finest agriculture, art and industry, the fair features hundreds of entertainment options; educational exhibits; carnival rides; competitions; and more than 1,600 different foods. The Minnesota State Fair is financially self-supporting and does not receive government funding. Revenue from ticket sales, percentages and fees paid by vendors, facility rental, sponsorships and other sources brings the fair to life - powering memorable experiences, world-class operations, and exceptional care of the historic fairgrounds. More than 200 events are hosted on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds annually."
