State Fair Free Anti Smoking Picture: “It looks just as stupid when you do it.”
I had plenty of time to cruise the Education Building for FREE STUFF
(my State Fair addiction.) I am a champion free stuff getter.
- Purple St. Thomas bag – Since I got there when the Education Building
opened, I didn’t have to wait in line. Otherwise people start lining
up a 1/2 hour before they start handing the bags out. - Enough pens and pencils to last 3 kids an entire school year
- Rulers
- Luggage tags
- An anti-smoking poster that shows all kinds of animals (cows, pigs,
cats, dogs, horses, monkeys…) smoking cigarettes. It says “It looks
just as stupid when you do it.” - A hat shaped like the Minnesota State Capitol, and an educational
coloring book from the Minnesota House of Representatives You can check out this year’s State Fair poll results (http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hinfo/Fair/pollmain.asp ) - A bookmark with the sign language alphabet.
- “Art on a stick” – paper fans with works of art from the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts. - An Anti-Discrimination pin
- My name written in Hebrew
- A map of Canada.
You’re probably thinking “Wow, I can’t believe you got that free stuff,”
either in the sense that “Wow, that’s really cool!,” or “Wow, what a
bunch of crap!” I kind of have mixed feelings myself, but mostly, it
is “Wow, free stuff.”
Free stuff I didn’t get: John Deere tractor hat, pig ear hat, yard stick, U of M backpack…, UCare bag, bike helmet
