Not a fish story: the DNR’s Minnesota State Fair cabin turns 90
We have not been to the fair since Covid, but I do love this building and the fish pond. If you ever got to the fair, you need to check it out. It *is* very busy most of the time though.

Just get used to this one. It is a better look all around.

Frankly, given the conservative voice MPR has had since it changed owners, they’d have run him off anyway, but it was definitely a loss at the time.
