This last week, my family and I made our annual
trip down to the Minnesota State Fair. Although it is usually called the “Great
Minnesota Get-Together”, it seemed more like the “Great American Sweat-Together.” The weather was 80
degrees, humid, and there was hardly a breeze. There was almost 120,000 people
all looking for their favorite exhibits, booths, and animals. I don’t want to
wish the summer away, but the weather could have been a little cooler! Other than
that, the crowds didn’t seem to bother us who were just at Potato Days and
Bison home opener! The Minnesota State Fair has always been one of my favorite
places to visit, but it always meant school was about to start and fall was
around the corner. Ever since I can remember, falls has been a bitter sweet
time for me. I love summer, the lakes and everything about the season. Then we
move into cooler nights, shorter days, fall sports and beautiful autumn colors.
Oh… and you can’t forget about football season!
Now that summer is coming to a close, it’s time to start
looking forward to the upcoming events for the fall months. This Thursday,
September 8th we have our last Show ‘n Shine Car Cruise for the
year. We look forward to everyone coming out for one more night! Many
organizations will be selling food and local businesses running specials!
Between the great food, DJ playing classic tunes, and the fascinating cars, it
is guaranteed to be a good time! Then next on the calendar is our Fall
Area-Wide Rummage Sales on Saturday, September 24th. This is a great
time to either sell those kids clothes that don’t fit anymore, or find some
deals on some new ones! We also are looking for vendors for the farmer’s
market! If you know anyone, have them give me a call at 354-2479.
