In Minnesota it Snows

OK, I have the 12 days of Christmas song out of my head and it has been replaced by the Let it Snow, Let it Snow tune because it just won’t stop snowing! It is Minnesota and as a life long resident I am used to snow and I do enjoy it…for a little while, but I am so tired of shoveling and I am so tired of stomping off my boots when I enter the house. Is it summer yet? Is it time for the Great Minnesota Get together? I hope Santa brings us plenty of good weather and extra greasy cheese curds. Mmmmm…I am dreaming of a State Fair Christmas! Here is a message board that gives us Minnesotans pointers on where to find Cheese Curds on the Fair off-season.

Minnesota State Fair Song

It’s that time of year when I start listening to Christmas music. I just heard the 12 days of Christmas song and I thought to myself…if I was really clever and talented, I would write a parody called the 12 days of the MN State Fair – wouldn’t that be fun and appropriate since the fair lasts twelve days. They do call it the twelve days of fun ending on Labor Day.

How would I start my minnesota state fair song? Hmmm…On the first day of State Fair, my true love gave to me, some sunglasses so I could see…On the second day of State fair, my true love gave to me two corn dogs and some sunglasses so I could see…

I will work on the rest of the verses in time for the 2008 great Minnesota get together! Yes, it’s true, I love the Minnesota State Fair enough to write a song about it! Check back to my blog, you never know what I will think of next!

Brad Paisley Tickets

I got pretty good Brad Paisley Tickets – I am in the 15th row on the main plaza. It looks pretty good on the State Fair Seating Chart and when I was at the grandstand last year I remember thinking that most of the first 20 rows on the plaza looked like good seats.

I bought three tickets and I am looking forward to the summer night out at the fair. I am giving a pair of tickets to my daughter for Christmas so that means I will be screaming I love you Brad along with my daughter and one of her friends. Now the real question is will the fair get the Paisley tickets to me in time to put them under the tree?????
