Thursday on Minnesota Now, the show went live from the Minnesota State Fair.

It was a big night for Gov. Tim Walz as he accepted the Vice Presidential nomination. We broke down his speech from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

It isn’t the State Fair without some farm animals. A 4-H kid joined the show with a lamb to talk about the importance of agriculture.

And how much do you know about the history of state fair? We put your knowledge to the test with a quiz from the Minnesota Historical Society.

It isn’t Minnesota Now without some local music, and on Thursday, it was live! From rock ‘n’ roll to jazz standards, Minnesota’s own Tina Schlieske joined the show to perform some music and sit down for an interview.
