Only 120 days until the start of the 2021 Minnesota State Fair, and all indications are that it will go ahead in some form this year after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped it off the schedule in 2020.
"We're in a different place than we were," said Jerry Hammer, general manager of the State Fair,in an interview on WCCO Radio Monday. "Last year everything we were seeing is why we couldn't, and this year we're seeing why we can."
"We're getting ready to go," Hammer added.
