September 1, 2009

LISTEN

With so many different things to eat, see, smell and do, more than 1.5 million people are expected to pass through the turnstiles by the time the Mighty Midway closes on Labor Day.

Well, you'll have to go see some of the state's top arts and crafts on display for yourself, taste the latest foods on a stick and sniff the animal barns on your own time.

But, each weekday during the Minnesota State Fair All Things Considered we will indulge your ears and bring you some mystery sounds from the Great Minnesota Get-Together.

Click on the audio clip and listen to the sound. Find out the answer by clicking on the photo above the clip.
