2018 Pioneer Press State Fair Treasure Hunt

The Butterfly house was correct! An artist from Texas was commissioned this summer to add some color to the formerly green exterior of the building, where fairgoers can walk among butterflies recently emerged from cocoons.

The DNR Building was correct! With a calming fish pond in the back and large, shading trees all around, the timber-construction DNR Building is one of our favorite stops during the Fair.

It's the Sky Glider! The long path this ride takes over Machinery Hill offers just enough time for folks to lose a shoe, a sandal or whatever else they need to dispose of, easily visible from the rooftops below.

It's the Minnesota Newspaper Museum in the 4H Building on Machinery Hill. The museum used to be in Heritage Square, but the renovation to the West End Market meant the museum had to move.

It's the Leine Lodge Bandshell Stage! We threw a few performer names in this one -- Har Mar Superstar, En Vogue -- to help narrow down the venue. Great guesses everyone!

It's the Dairy Building! Malts and butter sculptures. Enough said!

It's the wind turbine blade outside the Eco Experience building!

It's the front gate of the State Fair! These gates, on Snelling Avenue at Midway Parkway, draw folks looking to get into the Fair "first" on opening day. It's where the news crews hang out opening day, too.

It's the Grandstand! In addition to the nightly shows, the building is filled with vendors hawking every type of ware under the sun.

It's the sculpture that fronts the Caribe Cafe! We used him in a clue last year that went unsolved, so thanks for IDing it this year! We don't think the editors would let us use him for a third year.
