Great, great, I may try one of the chocolate-covered things on a stick, but my all time favorite is fried pickles from Vegi-Table. They are the bomb. Anthony introduced me to them.

I also love cheese curds (the ones by the Triangle). I haven't found a good replacement for my favorite Minnesota State Fair treats-hand cut fresh french fries and Sweet Martha's cookies. I don't love the chocolate chip cookies at the Iowa State Fair-Sweet Martha's are better.

Tonight is my state fair night-I like to go one of the first one to three days. Its still clean and people are still excited to be at the fair. Plus, its the Nadas at the AE stage tonight!
