Minnesotans made their way to the annual Farmfest in Morgan, Minnesota, this week. 
Among the draws: a chance to hear from candidates for governor, U.S. 
Senate, and Congress ahead of the state’s Aug. 11 primary election. 
MinnPost photographer Bridget Bennett spent two days at the event documenting the candidate forums, media scrums and handshakes. 
So many handshakes. 
See her work below.
