Shopping at the Minnesota State Fair

We all know that most people visit the Minnesota State Fair for the food, but what's the next best thing? The shopping!





At the Great Minnesota Blog Together, we not only got to taste the delicious new state fair foods, but we also learned more about new and returning vendors that will be selling their wares at the fair.




Birchberry Native Arts and Foods - White Earth inspired gifts and foods. Located in the international Bazaar in the southwest section.



Wish Boutique - Find Minnesota themed clothing and accessories. Find them in the Grandstand on the upper level, center section. www.shoppewish.com.

i like you - local made by Minnesota artisans and crafters. Many Minnesota themed t-shirts and gifts.

I admit, I'm partial to these ladies right here. It was cool to see the gals from i like you, a consignment store in Minneapolis. I used to sell my soaps in their store. I love that they are still growing strong. Be sure to visit these ladies and support local artisans while you are at it! www.ilikeyouonline.com.
