The Minnesota State Fair on Tuesday unveiled a Memorial Day weekend event that previews a possible return to normal at the fairgrounds later this summer.
The Fair was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic and its fate remains unclear for this year, but State Fair organizers revealed the new "Kickoff to Summer at the Fair" for May 27-31. Entries, chosen at random by lottery, will be capped at 10,000 for each of the seven time slots over five days.
