Field notes

The memorial preserves a narrow slice of Minnesota State Fair history through a menu account and a family photographic record spanning 2006–2025. Its evidence includes a 1993 WCCO News reference, a first-year booth image, and a final order dated August 28, 2025. The page also records the stand’s earlier Smoky Fritter, a corn fritter containing a miniature smoked sausage, which disappeared after the first few years.
