Summer Happenings Part I

The fair is in town this week. It is the county fair, and if the state fair is the "Great Minnesota Get Together", this county fair is the "Great Thief River Get Together." Everyone goes.

Heading to the fair...Elise and Anja's favorite part of the fair is the animals (it's mine too !)Mmmm...the fair food dinner...popcorn chicken, followed by cotton candy.

We are headed back to the fair today, the kids can't wait! The first thing Anja said when she got up this morning was "fair?"

Only in a Small Town?

Just about every small town up here had some kind of celebration last weekend, including a parade. I know first hand about two parades where at least one float passed out beer instead of candy. One float had a keg on board. The float riders were enjoying it, and periodically the float would stop and pass out a glass or two to spectators.
