Colbert on Vacation - Day Four

It's just a short hop, skip and jump north from Iowa to get to Minnesota. And today is the first day of the Great Minnesota Get-Together: Minnesota State Fair. According to Wikipedia, it is the largest state fair in terms of average daily attendance.

If Stephen goes today, he can see Reba in the Grandstand tonight. He won't get hungry because there is so much food to eat there, from Cheese on a Stick, Chan's Chicken on a Stick, Tino's Pizza on a Stick, and Walleye on a Stick to Juanita's Fajitas, Lynn's Lefse, Demetri's Greek Food, Henry's Kettle Korn, Thomasina's Cashew Brittle, or Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar. There's even Spam Burgers!

When Stephen has had enough to eat at the Minnesota State Fair, he can head further north to Duluth located on Lake Superior. He can watch the boats coming and going by the Aerial Lift Bridge located next to the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center (check out the webcam), visit the Great Lakes Aquarium, or go to the Lake Superior Zoo. If he gets hungry, he can eat at the Duluth Grill which was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Food Network, or find other dining spots at Visit Duluth.

If he gets sick from eating too much good food at the Fair or in Duluth, he can head down south to Rochester and visit the Mayo Clinic. If he still has time on his hands while in Minnesota, he can find all sorts of things to do at Explore Minnesota - There's More to Explore in Minnesota.

I hope Stephen is enjoying his vacation and I hope he is using my suggestions for a great summer vacation.
