Minnesota State Fair vendors generate high revenue

The Minnesota State Fair, a long-standing tradition held in Falcon Heights, serves as a major economic driver for food vendors. While the event lasts only 12 days, top-grossing vendors generate significant revenue through the sale of popular items like cookies and cheese curds.

Attendance at the fair has seen growth, with approximately 15,000 more visitors attending last year compared to the previous year. The fair, which dates back to 1859, showcases Minnesota's agriculture, art, and industry.
