What Items Are Up For Bid?

There are some cool items in the auction that would be great for decorating a game room, or other fun spaces in a home. Plus, if there are any bars or restaurants that are looking for some unique flair to add to their space, this might be the perfect opportunity to find that special item.

The Minnesota State Fair launched in 1859, so they've been collecting and storing items for a long time, and that is reflected in this unique auction with some very vintage, and I'm assuming very collectible items. I love the vintage circus memorabilia, and wished that I had more space to collect some of these items.

Take a look a what I think are some of the coolest and somewhat crazy items that are available in the one-of-a-kind auction.
