Yesterday kicked off the first day of the Minnesota State Fair!

The morning crew is prepping for an afternoon broadcast tomorrow with special guests, food tastings, contests, ticket giveaways and a special performance by local band Fraea.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that reference things you might find at the fair?

And thanks to Gary for the topic idea.

Songs played

On A Carousel - The Hollies
Pickles From The Jar - Courtney Barnett
Ticket To Ride - The Beatles
Step Right Up - Tom Waits
Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones
Shiny Happy People - R.E.M.
