Masks and vaccinations will not be required at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, but both are encouraged to limit coronavirus transmission during the 12-day event.
While fair leaders weighed mandates in the face of a growing COVID-19 wave, they envisioned enforcement problems and opted for a voluntary approach because the mostly outdoor environment reduces transmission risks anyway.

For the known and definite danger, they ALREADY have access to the thing that will save them, which carries a miniscule risk, and they refuse it.

But I've been rethinking that & leaning "No" for the last couple weeks. This decision pretty well seals the deal for me & as noted above, if the gun nuts win their case, it may be hard pass forever.
And I was so looking forward to fried olives.
