Supported by soldiers from the 257th Military Police Company, the Veterans Flag Raising Ceremony will be held as part of Military Appreciation Day at the site that memorializes Minnesota veterans. 9:15 a.m., Veterans Garden, outside the Agriculture Horticulture Building.

Try

Children can check out two new Kidway rides: the spinning and tilting Beach Shack and the climb and drop of Pump & Jump.

Hear

Brandi Carlile plays the grandstand with special guest Wynonna Judd Tuesday at 7 p.m.

On the free stages Tuesday:

Javier Trejo performs at the Frontier Bar noon-3:30 p.m.

Honky-Tonk Jump is on the Schell's Stage at West End at 4, 5 & 6 p.m.

Dallas Wayne and Redd Volkaert take the Leinie Lodge Bandshell stage at 3:45 & 4:45 p.m.

Taste

A basket of cheesecake curds from LuLu's Public House is the dessert you didn't know you needed. Fried cheesecake nuggets are great on their own, but with a dusting of powdered sugar and accompanying berry dipping sauce it becomes the over-the-top treat we expect from both LuLu's and the fair.
