Fair Advice and Trivia

Helpful Fair advice: When you head to the Fair this weekend, bring your bug spray. Those mosquitoes are particularly vicious this year. I saw several mothers spraying down their children at the DNR yesterday. I moved toward them, hoping the breeze would spread the spray my way and offer some protection. If you get too warm out in the sun, head over to O'Garas and stand underneath the cooling mist that sprays from their canopy.

Fifth ANNUAL STATE FAIR TRIVIA CONTEST!

Day Two of the 2011 Great Get-Together

Challenge: There are two announcers along the parade route. Name this year's announcer whose voice can be heard in front of the Leinie Lodge during the event. Bonus points if you can repeat some of his witty repartee. (Two points for correct answer)
