Minnesota State Fair: What's that sound?

The Minnesota State Fair has been going since last Thursday and it's always a feast for the senses. You might even say, sensory overload. Great people watching and visual distraction everywhere. The smells of the deep fryer, and the swine barn.

We want you to match your audio wits with our MPR microphones, and see if you can guess tonight's sound.
