Roseville Patch Looking For State Fair Fanatics

We're less than 10 days away from butter sculptures, the Mighty Midway and a whole lot of food on a stick.

The Minnesota State Fair starts on Aug. 25, and Roseville Patch wants to cover it wall-to-wall from a local angle. But we'll need your help.

Maybe you or someone you know is a "fair fanatic," with plans on going all 12 days? Or perhaps you're selling something, or competing in a fair event? Whatever your connection, we want to hear your story. Feel free to send tips to scott.carlson@patch.com or post them as comments below.

As the fair gets underway, Roseville Patch will be bringing you interesting local stories that make the fair so special. We'll also help you plan for your trip(s) to the fair with handy "5 things to know" articles every day.

Looking forward to seeing Roseville make the most of the Great Minnesota Get-Together.
