For most of us, the smell alone of the Minnesota State Fair is very mouth-watering.  Not to mention, walking by all of those mini doughnuts and funnel cake stands are way too tempting.  Not to worry, there are plenty of healthy options for you to choose from.

The following is just a list of places on the map with some of their healthy options in Woodbury MN that I, Chiropractor Christine Bartholomew of Aspire Integrated Health recommend.
