I'm not much in favor of stereotypes. Labeling of another person is something that is downright insulting and history has shown us that this sort of attitude has claimed lives and started wars. This may be of some truth, but it is also true that a lot of archetypes are taboo because they are explicitly negative or have negative connotations. A positive stereotype can be useful, however.
Take the people living in the State of Minnesota, for example. They are generally accepted as, "nice guys"; they won't go out of their way to please you, but they are quite willing to entertain their visitors. Of course, I'm not saying that all people living in Minnesota are kind; what I'm saying, rather, is that it is always a pleasant surprise whenever you experience this genuine kindness.
This good-natured attitude is something the residents show to visitors, as well as to each other. It's really no surprise that most people in Minnesota have a strong sense of community, as well as culture. Take the State's classic holiday dishes, the feel-good movies, and their well-mannered accents. Needless to say, Minnesota also has a wide variety of fairs and festivals around.
These festivals are really where their hospitality shines. Their State Fair is even known as The Great Minnesota Get-Together and for good reason. The amiable demeanor of the residents is one of the leading reasons that this fair is always so full of attendees. You'll be charmed by their hospitality, and you'll surely enjoy your stay.
One aspect of the Minnesota fair that you may really like is the abundance of arts and crafts that you will see. The juried show is called crop art, and you must be able to make artwork out of plant matter. This gives an interesting twist into the organic, and yet the majority of the craft items last for a long time.
