I love the #MNstatefair for so many reasons, but this is the best Fair news I’ve seen.

Serving as one of the featured #Authors at the Alphabet Forest in the #MNStateFair was a BLAST! 💥 My cheeks hurt from smiling and turnout at our literacy craft table was great. Thanks and kudos to all the people who contributed to the day’s success. 💜 📕 My heart is full. 😊 #SCBWI #WritingCommunity

Going by past experience, not much good happens at fairs after ~9pm, and most things close for the night around then anyway. And I'm not going anywhere near the midway due to too many negative experiences in the past. Wrapped up the night at the International Bazaar

Darin's Day 9/7/2026:

New video up at my Patreon. Went to the ##MNSTATEFAIR and tried some of the items I missed before. Edited new content. Relaxed the majority of the day after a crazy and fun weekend.

Once the #MNStateFair is over I start feeling the urge to play a new walkthrough of Skyrim or Fallout 4.

Well, fireworks. Time to head home. As always, looking forward to next year at the #MNStateFair

A paean to the booker for Dino's Gyros at the #MNStateFair:
You do not have the best musicians at the Fair. You certainly don't have the most popular musicians at the Fair. But you have the most reliably excellent cover bands at the Fair to keep Carnes and Underwood lively. Thank you!

As the full moon rose over the State Fair last week–it sets over the final night of the great get together. 🌔

Our togetherness doesn't stop here–we'll see you in the prairies, woods, shorelines & towns until we unite in the place of cookies, curds & big slide again. 🚣🏼‍♂️🌻🍪🛝🧀

A little recap of our #mnstatefair days. There were nearly 1.5 million people at the fair this year and there were #ChildcareForAllMN t-shirts there nearly every day, so we figure 1.5 million more people now know about Childcare for All MN! Never underestimate the power of a t-shirt billboard!

More creative arts protesting thuggery and recognizing Minnesotan solidarity. Rightfully labeled "occupation" here, and not "crackdown". The word "crackdown" carries undercurrents of legitimacy, and there was nothing whatsoever legitimate with this thuggery

I absolutely dig this every which way and then some
