Ninety-five county fairs are held through Minnesota every year, and Susan Lambert Miller has attended nearly every one of them. Camera in hand, she often visited multiple fairs in a weekend-sometimes more than one a day. And just a taste of what she found at these Minnesota get-togethers appears here in delightful, dazzling photographs.

The heart of a Minnesota county fair beats in the 4-H buildings, with their displays of bumper crops or beautiful animals or creative activities. Fairs bring neighbors together, to play bingo, to applaud a bluegrass performance, to explore the frights and delights of the midway. Food plays a significant role, whether hawked from a booth or artfully arranged for competition. Carnies beckon for games and prizes. The loudspeaker blares with announcements of livestock judging or the next "main event."

These summer festivals offer a feast for the senses, with countless ways to take it all in. Miller's photographs display a feast of sorts as well, a view of Minnesota's quintessential character, introduced by Shannon Olson's meditation on our fairgoer selves. Step right up: see rooster bingo, smell sizzling pork chops, hear bumper car horns. In Minnesota County Fairs, summer fun is always at its peak.
