Bazaar, the DNR stage, and Leine Bandshell are outdoors; cheap food at cafe "The Peg" on outside wall of agriculture building; cheapest ice cream inside Empire Commons; farther away is the Heritage Stage (usually country music); schedules/info. at mnstatefair.org or StarTribune.com Aug. 19 issue, also daily schedules will be in Aug. 23 - Sep.3 issues.
