Come enjoy deep-fried food and unfried friendship at the Great Minnesota Get-Together! Whether you’re on a mission to sample this year’s newest fair foods, catch some live music, check out the Seed Art, or simply soak up one of Minnesota’s best traditions, we’d love to have you join us.

Christy, Missy, and a group from St. Stephen’s will be heading to the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday, August 27, spending the day—and into the evening—exploring all the fair has to offer. This year’s lineup includes 36 official new foods (yes, including Pickle Pie, Longanisa Cheese Curd Lumpia, and Strawberry Crunch Mini Donuts!) along with plenty of returning favorites.

Come for the whole day or meet up after work—whatever fits your schedule! To coordinate where and when to connect, contact Christy at cstang@ststephens.com.

HINT: Get your tickets ahead of time at Cub Foods or online through the official Minnesota State Fair website to save some money and some time.
