I took the kids to the fair last night to see the Rodeo. We had some time to look around before it started, and I was suprised to see "Olmsted County Fair Board bans handguns in these premises" near the entrances to some of the exhibit buildings. I guess I figured that the fair sits in Graham Park, was public property, and so couldn't be posted. Maybe some of the buildings have a different status, because they weren't all posted. The fairgrounds itself wasn't posted, and neither was the grandstand. In fact the only place I was interested in that was posted was the Fish and Wildlife Conservation building. I saw the signs on the commercial exhibit building, the arts and crafts building, and the beer garden too.
