Things To Do In August


Things To Do In August

Based on the calendar, it feels like the summer is starting to wind down. Most of the events I have found are towards the beginning of the month. We are also getting into the apple picking season. The MN State Fair and Renaissance Festival are starting up at the end of the month. They tend to cost the most, especially if you don’t plan for them. I included my tips to save money on the entrance to these activities. You can even get in free to the renaissance festival, if you are willing to part with a little blood before you go. If anyone else know’s of any activities or tips, please feel free to add any in the comments section.
