• State Fair – Free stuff

   

  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.

  1. 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.
  2. Enough pens and pencils to last 3 kids an entire school year
  3. Rulers
  4. Luggage tags
  5. 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.”
  6. 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)
  7. A bookmark with the sign language alphabet.
  8. “Art on a stick” – paper fans with works of art from the Minneapolis
     Institute of Arts.
  9. An Anti-Discrimination pin
  10. My name written in Hebrew
  11. 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
