Archbishop Lori of Baltimore found himself drawn to the 'very wonderful world' of the Minnesota State Fair, as he put it. In a light-hearted moment, he recounted being told by someone that he had to visit the fair to consider his life complete.
The Archbishop made the most of his visit, indulging in a variety of fair foods, including a corn dog, a footlong hot dog, and 'lots of ice cream,' as he described it.
Archbishop Lori has a personal connection to Minnesota, noting a link to Archbishop Harry J. of the state.
He marveled at the scale and tradition of the fair, which spans 12 days and is known as 'The Great Minnesota Get-Together,' describing it as 'so big and vibrant and it’s such a huge, long tradition.
