Fair Street Name

Earlier this week, we set out to find the name of a street that stretches through the North Dakota State Fair Grounds.
Nearly everyone we talked with didn't know what it was called but had lots of suggestions.

In fact an online suggestion poll on the KX Facebook Page had "State Fair Avenue" winning as the top suggestion.
However, after digging through some forgotten files at the Fair Office, it turns out the busiest street does in-fact have a name.
The street that helps hundreds of thousands of people get from one end of the fair grounds to the other is called "Avenue of Flags."
The "avenue" is lined with all 50 state flags, but over the years some of those flag poles have been hidden and almost overtaken by trees.

"The Avenue of Flags" starts on the south entrance of the fair and stretches all the way to the State Fair Center.
