Gopher State Expositions

The sweet smell of Asian cuisine wafts through the fairgrounds, thanks to Edita Forcier and her beloved Panda Palace, a staple for nearly 15 years.

Gopher State Expositions is a carnival attraction service that is based out of St. Cloud, and they are kicking off their season in their home area.

Unfortunately, this summer we're not able to go to our local county fair or city celebration and take in the carnival rides, but you can bring the rides to you -- or at least the Ferris wheel.
