Fresh eyes at the fair

MPR's Tom Weber has never been to the Minnesota State Fair, so naturally he ended up there with recording equipment and approached strangers:

"I had never been to the Minnesota state fair, so I asked Minnesotans for their ideas on what one thing I just had to do as a first-timer."

What did he eat? What exhibits did he see? Which rides did he brave? Confused? You won't be after catching A first-timer's trip to the Fair.

But I can't resist a tease, here's Tom taking the slingshot ride. I might have to bookmark this:
