The ovens are off. The lines are gone. The last turkey leg has left the building. And somehow, 12 days went by in about five minutes.
What you see on social media is only a tiny piece of what happens here.
Behind every sandwich handed through that window are people who worked incredibly long days. Farmers who raised the turkey. A crew that showed up and absolutely crushed it. Partners who believed in what we were doing.
Mike & Kat’s Other Place keeping everyone caffeinated and hydrated. And thousands and thousands of you who made Turkey To Go part of your State Fair.
Some of you have been coming here for years.
Some of you found us for the first time because a ridiculous turkey video showed up on your phone.
Some of you came back three times. 😂
However you found us, you became part of this year with us.
We laughed a LOT. We served an unbelievable amount of turkey. We met some incredible people. We made some memories we’ll be talking about long after the fairgrounds are empty.
And now, we get to say the three words that felt impossibly far away 12 days ago:
We did it.
Thank you to every farmer, partner, crew member, friend, fan, fairgoer and fellow vendor who was part of this one.
What a freaking year.
See you next time, Minnesota. ❤️🦃
