What do you get when you cross a beautiful and expressive family with a larger than life Minnesota ritual? Pure Awesomeness. The Zellner Smiths love the fair. They love it so much that they let me (a self-professed but no longer fair-hater) tag along to document the joy they see. Turns out these 5 and the other 252,000 fair goers contributed lots of joy and some pretty great photographs. Thank you Zellner Smiths for giving me this glimpse. State Fair – we’ll see you next year.
