Meet a Minnesota State Fair button collector
Minnesotans go to the Minnesota State Fair for all sorts of reasons. For some, it’s the food. For others, it’s the entertainment. For Sue Buetow, it’s for the buttons. Buetow has been collecting Minnesota State Fair buttons for years. She has about 1,000. Some small, some big, some are from politicians, and others mark historical moments at the fair, like 100 years of the cattle barn. Her oldest is from 1910.
