This Minnesota native has made it a tradition to visit the State Fair for more than five decades with family and friends. He makes three stops an absolute mission every year: Sweet Martha’s Cookies, a Dairy Barn malt, and renewing his Outdoor News subscription.
Bill Weber, 79, is a familiar face at the fairgrounds. He started his tradition when he was still in high school. Throughout the years, as his family grew, he shared the tradition with his two daughters and late wife.

However, wildlife officials caution that the jolting year-to-year increase does not necessarily mean state’s duck population suddenly exploded.
