At the Minnesota State Fair, have you ever wondered where people get those free yardsticks?
It's at the Minnesota Blue Flame Gas Station, booth F-15 on Nelson Street. How do I know that? It's not that I am smart. It's that I have the secret to freebies at the fair.
Here is the Fair's list of freebies, deals, drawings and giveaways.
Unlike the Blue Ribbon book, which for $5 gets you some great coupons, this is 100% free.
And in case you were wondering, taking first place in the scatological freebie category -- "Free Piece of Poo", as in elephant dung paper from the Mr. Ellie Pooh stand at booth F-14 in the grandstand.
How could anyone make this stuff up?
