I have made it. A full day at the Minnesota State Fair.
At first i was a little worried, but then i realized Brett Williams would be by our side to guide us through the great get together. As an added bonus, Tim Dybevik would act as backup in case Brett became unavailable.
We had four 30 minute shows with Stevie Rays throughout the day. In between the sets, we would be able to roam the fairgrounds. And we did.
We went and found some typical fair food such as a Pronto Pup, which is NOT a corn dog. There is a difference. I had the Pronto Pup. Wrong choice. Enjoyed a cookie and that was about the extent of it.
We did go to the Pirate shoot out. That was a good time had by all. Brett made the unfortunate mistake of putting his bucket of balls (insert joke here) on the upper ledge, exposing it to the shootout. With one swift shot, Brett's balls were everywhere, as was Brett.
The shows went off well. The longer the day went on, the more exhausted the troupe became. None the less, we made the crowd laugh, and in the end, i believe we may have secured a bigger stage for next year. Well see. Thanks Tim for the initial foot in the door.
We all gathered up and jumped in the van that would take us across the fair grounds to our cars. It was amazing how fair goers can become very angry and seething over a vehicle cutting through the street. Luckily the windows were tinted and our identities were protected from the short fused mob. The joys of the fair.
I was glad to get back to my car and head home, knowing i wouldn't have to deal with the fair for a long time to come... or would I?
The answer... no. The family and I would embark the next day.
