The Great Minnesota Get Together aka The State Fair

I didn’t go to the Fair this year, or as it’s called around these parts, the Great Minnesota Get Together.  I usually never miss it.  But this year there was just too much going on, so I took advantage of the quiet in the house while the rest of my family spent the day eating anything they could find on a stick.  Here’s the webiste: http://www.mnstatefair.org if you are interested in checking things out.

Speaking of the Fair, my friend Roseann Kermes (Rosebud’s Cottage) is a hard core Fair lover.  In fact she has a booth at the fair - 10 days worth.  It’s in Heritage Square and worth the trip!  She has lots of cool stuff about the Fair on her blog.  As I was reading it, I came upon an award winning quilt in the category of First Pieced Quilt - it was made from my Grandpa’s Best pattern!  I would love to know who made it.
