The Minnesota State Fair is held in St. Paul just about two from the Minneapolis city limits. I've never considered growing for show but it is fun when you walk around the displays of amazing fruits & veg. Next year I'm hoping that planning have a place to grow a chili assortment and some other veggies. If successful I think I'll try submitting something for the fair judging. green56 mentioned that a matched set of six peppers is required... now that will be a challenge. Renee
