Fair Food & Rides - Crossroads Has Your Fix Coming Up This Week

If one of the things you love about summer is all of the county fairs that happen along with the rides and, of course, the food, then you will want to attend this event coming back to the Macy's parking lot at Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud.

We just can't let summer pass by... the weather definitely feels more summer-like so let's pretend it's July and enjoy what summers in Minnesota are all about (if you like the county fairs).

Coming up this Thursday through this coming Sunday, you will have that opportunity to experience the food, games and rides before the cold and snow arrive.

Gopher State Expositions and Miller Concessions will bring the fun this coming weekend. There will be the 3 hours, unlimited rides available. But that 3 hours does start at the time of purchase, so if you are interested in that, make sure you pay attention to closing time so you are actually able to get the full 3 hours in that you paid for.

I know that some people absolutely love Winter... but for those of us who are not really looking forward to that time of year, this is a cool way to hang onto Summer for just a little while longer. Luckily, since school is back in session, the carnival rides open up Friday and Saturday at 4pm, so you aren't losing any time by having to be in school.
