The Minnesota State Fair runs for 12 days from late August to Labor Day each year and hundreds of volunteers are needed to make it successful.

Their objective is to help visitors have the best fair experience so volunteers are constantly answering questions and guiding people from one attraction to another.

WCCO interviewed the info booth at the State Fair to find out what kind of questions visitors were asking.

"Where can I get a Blue-Ribbon Bargain Book?" was a popular question with guests trying to save some cash.

And, the top question that volunteers get is "Where is the closest bathroom?" The bathrooms might be the most popular attraction at the fair. Fair officials say they go through 22,000 rolls of toilet paper each year.
