State Fair!!
FYI, the Minnesota State Fair is insane. It's held in St Paul, it's crowded, everyone walks into everyone, and the food is expensive. Once a year is enough (but you may want to go more than once in the 12-day period). And the rest of the year - why yes, we do dream of Fair!
My favs: cheese curds, fresh lemonade, bacon-on-a-stick, fried Twinkie. Huge vegetables, the grandstand (people selling stuff), international village, and wandering through the barns for that real fair experience.

The return of football season.
It's probably the camaderie among people who never met 5 minutes before but will spend the next 60 minutes of game time cheering on their team, but to me, football never gets old. It's the fans, the passion, the bursts of action broken up by instant replays and reflection, and secondarily about the beer and stadium food.
As a sports fan (not fanatic in the quoting stats or rosters, but loving to watch them), I love this time of year because baseball's not over, football's just starting, and hockey's just around the corner, too. Some people find joy for themselves through photography, travel, or crafts... I find it on a day when I can watch 3 games back-to-back-to-back.
