The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing, and so is The Current’s Morning Show… in the afternoon! Join us each day until Thursday, September 3, from 3 – 7 p.m. as Jill and Nil broadcast live from MPR’s State Fair Station with special guests and musical performances.

From animals and crop art to people-watching and an abundance of food, there are sights, sounds, and smells that only belong to the fair. Let’s create a playlist of songs that evoke the spirit of the Great Minnesota Get Together!

So for today’s 5:30 Root Beer Break, what songs that evoke the spirit of the fair would you like to hear?
