(Falcon Heights, MN) — A Minnesota State Fair tradition continues today (Wednesday 9;30 a-m) when the D-N-R stocks the outdoor fish pond. They will be adding about dozen species of Minnesota fish, ranging from sunfish to sturgeon.
The paddlefish found in the St. Croix River has been one of the most popular fish in the State Fair pond.
The lake sturgeon is the largest at 50-plus inches. The D-N-R’s indoor building and fish tanks will not be open this year due to COVID concerns.
There is a long list of interactive nature and outdoor exhibits, live animals, music, and entertainment at State Fair D-N-R Park.
