How Much Really Goes into the Minnesota State Fair

Down the homestretch on this Wednesday afternoon we talk with the General Manager of the Minnesota State Fair Rene Alexander and take questions from the crowd and texts and ask some of the bigger questions about “The Great Minnesota Get-Together” and what the ‘offseason’ of the Minnesota State Fair looks like with logistics and planning for next year’s fair. Then, we talked to the interim president of the University of Minnesota Jeff Ettinger about students moving in this week and what the university has planned for this year.
