The secret economy of America’s largest State Fair

What really powers the Minnesota State Fair? From 15% food commissions to vendor audits, this video uncovers how America's biggest fair operates like a finely tuned city

Every year the Minnesota State Fair attracts literally millions of people. And much of the talk about the fair involves the prices… for parking ($20-$50?), entry into the fair ($20 just to get in??), and the food ($15 for a corn dog???). So I spent a month investigating the fair’s finances and made a whole video all about it.

After watching, you’ll never walk through the MN State Fair the same way again.

And yeah, the Minnesota State Fair is bigger than Texas’s.
