Look at What Walz Did at the Minnesota State Fair

Tim Walz Called Trump and Vance Weird, But Look at What Walz Did at the Minnesota State Fair

When the Pot Calls the Kettle Weird…

In a political landscape where name-calling is practically a sport, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently made headlines by labeling former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance as “weird.” But what the Governor didn’t anticipate was that his own antics at the Minnesota State Fair would be enough to make even the most eccentric of politicians blush.

Walz posed proudly next to a six-foot sculpture of Barack Obama made entirely of cow dung, calling it “a truly organic tribute.”

The Fair’s Weirdest Foods: Walz’s Culinary Journey

The Minnesota State Fair is known for its outrageous food options, but this year, Governor Walz took it upon himself to taste-test the most bizarre offerings. His culinary adventure began with the now-infamous “Deep-Fried Lutefisk Popsicle.” This Scandinavian nightmare-on-a-stick left many fairgoers gagging, but Walz bravely took a bite, smiled for the cameras, and claimed, “It’s an acquired taste.”

Not stopping there, he moved on to the “Spam Sundae”—a grotesque concoction of Spam ice cream, caramel sauce, and candied bacon. Witnesses described the Governor’s expression as a mix between confusion and mild terror, but he finished the dish, stating, “I’ve had worse in the legislature.”

But the pièce de résistance was Walz’s decision to try the “Buttered Pickle Cotton Candy.” This neon-green fluff was described by onlookers as “something you’d only eat on a dare,” but Walz approached it with enthusiasm. After a thoughtful chew, he declared it “strangely satisfying,” though his staff was later seen quietly disposing of the leftovers.

Weird Animal Competitions: Walz’s Encounters

Walz’s day at the fair didn’t end with his gastronomic feats. He wandered into the livestock pavilion, where he took part in some of the strangest animal competitions known to man—or at least to Minnesotans.

First on the list was the “Chicken Dance-Off,” where he donned a feathered costume and squared off against a group of hyperactive hens. The Governor’s moves were a cross between a high school prom reject and an overcaffeinated rooster, earning him third place and a consolation ribbon shaped like an egg.

Next, he entered the “Llama Costume Parade,” leading a llama dressed as a Viking warrior, complete with a horned helmet. Walz, clad in a matching Viking outfit, marched proudly down the aisle, even attempting to chant “Skol!” in unison with his llama. While his Viking persona didn’t win first prize, he did receive the “Most Enthusiastic Participant” award, a title he accepted with uncharacteristic humility.

The day reached its zenith at the “Piglet Derby,” where Walz was handed a tiny piglet named “Oinkers” and encouraged to race it against other celebrity participants. Oinkers, more interested in rooting around for snacks than in racing, trotted lazily around the track while Walz cheered him on. Despite finishing dead last, the Governor embraced Oinkers and announced, “It’s not about winning; it’s about having fun—right, little buddy?”

Weird Exhibits: Walz’s Guided Tour

As if his day hadn’t been surreal enough, Walz ventured into the fair’s exhibit halls, where he encountered some truly bizarre displays that could only be found at the Minnesota State Fair.

One exhibit featured a six-foot statue of Barack Obama made entirely of cow dung—a tribute to the former president’s agricultural policies, according to the artist. Walz posed next to the statue, grinning widely, and commented, “This is some real grassroots art, wouldn’t you say?”

He then moved on to the “Corn Maze of Conspiracy Theories,” a labyrinth of maize stalks with each dead-end featuring a different conspiracy theory—from flat Earth to lizard people. The Governor got hopelessly lost inside and had to be rescued by a teenage volunteer. Emerging from the maze, he laughed it off, saying, “I guess I’m better at navigating politics than corn.”

Perhaps the strangest moment came when Walz visited the “UFO Encounter Experience,” an interactive exhibit where attendees could “meet” extraterrestrials (really just actors in costumes). Not one to shy away from a photo-op, Walz donned a tinfoil hat and pretended to be abducted, exclaiming, “Take me to your leader, but only if they have a good healthcare plan!”

The Final Weirdness: Walz’s Fair Farewell

As the sun set on the weirdest day at the fair, Walz capped off his visit by participating in the “Giant Vegetable Weigh-Off.” He proudly stood next to a 500-pound pumpkin, claiming it symbolized the “girth of Minnesota’s agricultural success.”

Before leaving, Walz was gifted a commemorative butter sculpture of himself—because nothing says “Minnesota” like a life-sized bust made of dairy. As he admired the creamy likeness, he quipped, “Well, at least this one won’t melt under pressure.”

The Pot and the Kettle

In conclusion, while Governor Walz may have called Trump and Vance “weird,” his day at the Minnesota State Fair proved that weirdness is a universal trait—especially when you’re the Governor of Minnesota. Whether it was eating strange foods, participating in bizarre animal competitions, or exploring outlandish exhibits, Walz showed that he’s more than capable of embracing the weirdness, one deep-fried lutefisk at a time.
