The Minnesota State Fair is just around the corner, and with just weeks to go, the State Fair is sharing some new things visitors can expect.

First is the official Minnesota State Fair App, which, in addition to showing you around, also has the locations of where to find food, shopping vendors, a schedule, concert line ups and more.

A new welcome wall has also been set up. Visitors can buy an engraved tile for the wall; the $600 purchase will go towards the Minnesota State Fair Foundation.
