Minnesota State Fair

The cows are working overtime, Princess Kay of the Milky Way is preparing to pass her crown on to her successor, and the 90-pound blocks of butter are set to be sculpted. The 2008 Minnesota State Fair is just around the corner, and once again, the state’s dairy industry is taking center stage.


The 12 finalists for this year’s Princess Kay of the Milky Way have been named. You can read more about the dozen candidates – and the Princess Kay program – on our Princess Kay page.


Check back in the coming weeks for the latest news and information about all the family-friendly dairy events and activities going on at this year’s fair, including the delicious treats at the Dairy Goodness Bar and the All-You-Can-Drink Milk Stand.
