The Great MN Pod Together
Welcome to the Great MN Pod Together--The podcast all about that most wonderful time of the year *the Minnesota State Fair*! We'll spend the 12 days leading up to Labor Day talking with other fair-o-philes about their favorite ways to do the fair, learning historical fair fun facts from an expert (my mom), and of course serving as support group for any and all of us who would be at the Great MN Get Together this year if it hadn't been canceled for the first time since the last terrible global pandemic. To fellow die-hard fans and new enthusiasts alike, I'm so glad you found the show! I'd love to hear from you--subscribe to get new shows when they come out and visit thegreatMNpod.com for more info and to connect!
