Olmsted County Fair night!  6 pm.


My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings.  I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know.
