Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz enjoyed local delicacies at the Minnesota state fair on Sunday. Accompanied by his wife, Gwen, and daughter, Hope, he explored the fair, sampling a pork chop on a stick and a vanilla shake. Walz, proudly endorsing the state fair, remarked, "For those not from Minnesota, just to be clear, there's a lot of great state fairs in the country, this is the best one."

The 12-day event allows Minnesota farmers to display their products, an aspect Walz emphasized walking past booths with slogans like "PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK" and "#PORKPROUD." Crowds eagerly greeted Walz, capturing memories with photos and handshakes. Walz welcomed the extra visibility, noting it as an opportunity to highlight Minnesota's agriculture and economy. He stated, "I think people are seeing that we're getting to talk about Minnesota across the country." On Labor Day, Walz is slated to meet union leaders in Milwaukee.
