As the Minnesota State Fair comes to a close, families are rushing to the fairgrounds to make last-minute memories.

Twins Jacob and Joseph turned 4 years old on Sunday. To celebrate, they visited the fair for the first time alongside their grandpa and their dad, Larrie.

"They're having a good time. They're excited," Larrie said.

Marilyn Johnson has been coming to the State Fair since 1975.

"This is the first time my whole family is here," she said.

For Johnson, every year at the fair is about adding to your history of experiences.

"Whether you listen to a band, or eat a Pronto Pup, or sit on a horse, or, you know, you drive on a tractor, whatever. You just experience a whole gamut of everything," she said.

"Everything is like rainbows and butterflies," Gabriella Kuvaha said.
