FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — Despite the heat, crowds flocked to the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday.
“It’s hot,” said Eva Diffendal, who was armed with a visor, umbrella and fan. “You always gotta come prepared."
Diffendal and her family enjoyed ice cream cones from the Dairy Barn.
"You gotta have it on a day like today," she said.
Some fairgoers went to extreme measures to stay cool, including Shayla Menter, who went through the air-conditioned Haunted House.
"I was scared, but it was very cold in there," said Menter. "I enjoyed that part, I would go again just for that."
The state fair provides several water stations, including one at the KARE 11 Barn. The event also provides first-aid stations on the east and west ends of the fair.
