The Minnesota State Fair came to an end last Monday and in doing so finished another busy summer for 4H members, FFA members, and livestock farmers from across the state. The Minnesota State Fair once again set an attendance record for overall attendance while setting four individual day records.

The Minnesota State Fair was attended by 1,943,719 people this year.
