Let’s preface this: Neither of us are fair people.
Alexander is from Maryland, where county fairs aren’t a big deal. And though Teresa is from Rochester, she doesn’t love the fair. Maybe it’s her fear of a freak fair ride accident, maybe it’s a longtime feud with a certain cow.
Suffice it to say we were out of our element Tuesday at the Olmsted County Fair, where we were charged with reviewing six food items.
