FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. – The Great Minnesota Get-Together brings in visitors and vendors from all across the state. But it truly is an international affair.

There’s many fishes in the sea of people that flow through the Minnesota State Fair, most of whom call this state home. But with tens of thousands – sometimes hundreds of thousands – lining up for food and learning about livestock can’t all be locals.

Carmel Dyer and her luscious potatoes hail from Australia, but she now calls California home.

Georgia resident Kim Underwood has been selling custom toe rings at the fair for 14 year.

“A lot of us travel a long distance to come here because it’s amazing,” Underwood said
