Every Minnesotan has his or her own State Fair story, so, with the 2018 edition opening its gates on Thursday, we asked Minnesota United’s pair of natives — Woodbury’s Brent Kallman and Eric Miller — to share their fondest memories of the Great Minnesota Get-Together. If nothing else, this exercise reinforced the inalienable truth that nothing gets between Minnesotans and their Sweet Martha’s Cookies.
Brent Kallman: My family was not a big State Fair going family at all. I actually didn’t even go until I was 22 during my first year with the club in 2013 when we were doing some events with the club down there.
