Minnesota State Fair urges but doesn't require masks, vaccination

Masks and vaccinations will not be required at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, but both are encouraged to limit coronavirus transmission during the 12-day event.

While fair leaders weighed mandates in the face of a growing COVID-19 wave, they envisioned enforcement problems and opted for a voluntary approach because the mostly outdoor environment reduces transmission risks anyway.

So if you go, you are on your own.

No info, yet, about carrying guns..

Even outside, too many people are too close together. And if the gunners are successful....

unknown and unlikely danger, they will fight tooth and nail to have access to the gun, which is statistically dangerous to own.

For the known and definite danger, they ALREADY have access to the thing that will save them, which carries a miniscule risk, and they refuse it.

(even have my traditional "State Fair Day" pto approved).

But I've been rethinking that & leaning "No" for the last couple weeks. This decision pretty well seals the deal for me & as noted above, if the gun nuts win their case, it may be hard pass forever.

And I was so looking forward to fried olives.
