State fair season brings tasty new foods-on-a-stick and a grandstand full of marketing lessons for those willing to walk the midway. The Minnesota State Fair, known affectionately as the Great Minnesota Get-Together , begins tomorrow, and we’ll explore some of the wild new food concoctions on offer this year, and dig in to a bucket-of-cookies-size list of surprising things it can teach us about marketing. The fair, which began all the way back in 1859, is one of the largest in the U.S., now often topping the 2 million attendee mark each 12-day season and offering fair-goers 322 acres of summer fun in the form of amusement rides, live music from at least four stages, art, animals, parades and more.
