Search Tools You Can Really Put to Use!

I'm a big fan of the Great Minnesota Get-Together, otherwise known as the Minnesota State Fair (or, "the state f-word," as my friend who lives about a block from the fairgrounds calls it when she's annoyed by people driving around her neighborhood looking for street and yard parking...). And, this year they have TWO great search tools you can use:

1. Food Finder
2. Merch Search

How awesome is that??? Note that for both, you can search for stands that have free stuff or other coupons and discounts. For a college student (or faculty or staff member) on a tight budget, that can help those discretionary fair dollars go a bit farther.

Any of you have plans to go to the State Fair (August 27-Labor Day, September 7)? What are your favorite things to eat/see/do there?
