Invested in AAPL, that $4 from 2015 would be worth $47.50 today — enough to cover one deep-fried candy bar and half a bucket of Sweet Martha's cookies at #MNStateFair.

"Can't wait to see the butter head sculptures this year! We're going so late into the fair that they might all be carved and..."

I dunk on GoPro's ability to shoot good video at night and I still probably will, but this one looks pretty nice from the Space Tower

I love the #MNstatefair for so many reasons, but this is the best Fair news I’ve seen.
Best Fair followup story yet

Didn't get a chance to see #mnstatefair crop art or just want to see it again? I took 350+ photos and stitched them together to create a Gaussian splat of the room, then spent several hours tagging most of the art so you could click on it and learn more. Check it out: cropart.mapki.com
