The Great Minnesota Get-Together


The smell of grease permeates through the air, mixing ever so delicately with the smell of manure.

Mullets and bellys can be viewed far and near.
It's an ocean of people, unlike anything you've ever seen. Truly one of the wonders of the world.
But there's also a multitude of animals abounding.
We saw a baby lamb come into the world.

We shared curds of cheese and a roasted cob of corn.
Dining on local wine and the delectable ice cream of honey.
Ah, the tastes of once a year!

Our legs grew tired and weary.
Our dad tried out an acupressure machine.
I signed up for many a home-improvement sweepstakes (goodness knows how many calls all get in the next month for "free estimates!"


The sun kissed our skin.
We saw heads carved out of butter.
Fish swimming in the pond.


Once again, it was a glorious fest, but one I can only handle once a year.
