State Fair sets all-time attendance record
More people attended the Minnesota State Fair this year than ever before.
The 2009 fair set an attendance record with nearly 1.8 million people visiting the Great Minnesota Get-Together.
Ideal weather for nearly the entire 12-day run pushed attendance beyond the old record of 1.7 million set in 2001.
