Fifth Annual State Fair Trivia Contest!


Tomorrow is the first official day of our office's 5th Annual State Fair Trivia Contest.  As in past years, my officemates will be scrambling to answer daily trivia questions correctly, learn about the Minnesota State Fair, avoid the birthing barns, and eat more food on a stick than humanly possible for a non-Midwesterner. All of this to earn a super awesome trophy (they earn bonus points by flattering The Judge a.k.a. Me). 

A brief trophy and awards ceremony honoring last year’s winners will take place around 4 PM on September 1 in our offices. Immediately following the ceremony, we will traverse together through the Fair Grounds in an effort to complete the Scavenger Hunt (think Bingo-meets-mullet- and Fair Hair-sightings).  

I'll keep you apprised of my questions and their efforts. Want to join our group? Outsiders are welcome!  Play along and earn your own trophy! Simply answer the day's questions in the comment section. You have until Tuesday, September 6 to send in your answers. Let me know if you want in on the Scavenger Hunt.

Note: Competition rules are based on an honor system.  If you don't have the answer outright, you are allowed to consult the newspapers (in print and online), your friends and family members, and other Fair-goers. You are not allowed to consult the Official Minnesota State Fair Website.  The point of this contest is to spread your love, adoration, and knowledge about The Fair. Although actual stalking of 4-Hers and Dairy Princesses is not recommended, we do ENCOURAGE and STRONGLY SUGGEST that all participants interact with fellow fair friends.

Challenge: There are several days when ticket discounts are offered at the gate for various reasons. Name up to three of the discount days. (Two points per correct answer)
