Buckets of cookies, fried candy bars, craft shows, live music, farm animals and everything on a stick. Get ready. The Great Minnesota Get Together is only five weeks away, and if you’re planning on going, Patch wants to hear about it.

Are you entering your award winning jam into a contest? Will your company have a booth with free giveaways? Do you plan to go on a mission to find the best food truck? Is your son or daughter competing in a talent show? Consider starting a free Patch blog and sharing your experience with your neighbors.
