Saturday's attendance highest so far this year

Saturday saw the biggest crowd of the 2022 Minnesota State Fair so far.

According to fair officials, 157,878 people walked through the gates on the first weekend day of the fair. That's well shy of the record, which was set at 222,194 in 2018.

Saturday night brought severe weather, including flash flooding, to the fair. More storms are expected Sunday evening. It remains to be seen if that will affect Sunday's attendance numbers.
