Anyone else planning to hit the Minnesota fair for Labor Day weekend?
So far the count is the six of us Comte.
Those being you and your lovely wife, Davood and Mojgan, The Marquis and myself.
For The Marquis to win the bet he will need to secure the attendence of six more Arizonians.
Have fun in Minnesota all! Alan and I are flying into Berkley, MI on Thursday, 8/28, to see Owain play at O'Mara's and then on Friday morning we'll head to Grand Blanc for the rest of the weekend. Maybe I'll make it to Minnesota some year or perhaps take a week and a half off and go to both in a two weekend period :)
one of these years i really should go to michigan again, being how I grew up there and all, and most of my family still live there
Yes indeed. Mojgan and I will be setting out across the long hot desert, only to arrive shortly thereafter at Sky Harbor Airport :)
Can't wait to welcome everyone of you, to our home of the land of many lakes. I call some of them ponds myself, but it's a local thing I think.
Drat!
Planned a ride of the PCH for that weekend. So while you guys are having the time of your life at faire, I will be having the time of my life, carving some damn fine curves on the CA coast.

Well thank you Fig! We are really looking forward to seeing everyone again!
Sooon....very soon now.
As always The Marquis and I are thrilled to be visiting MNRF and all of you who call us friends and make us feel like family there.
YAY!!! Bring on the Arizonians!!!! Can't wait for you all to come play with us at MNRF!!! ;D I'll be working that whole weekend at Foaming Stein, make sure you stop by, yell from across the way or something!!!!
So.... Does it look like the Marquis De Chandler is going to loose his bet? ???
:o
That's affirmative.
Tis a shame, if only for the fact that it would have been nice to have a sizable group of us going up...at least I don't have to wear it
The Marquis' "kilt" ...and I beg all Celts forgiveness and ask for wide latitutde in using the term....
will be making an appearance this Saturday at MNRF. ;)
Just remember...never make a bet with a Scot.
Are you here yet???Are you here yet???Are you here yet???Are you here yet???Are you here yet??? giggity giggity.

Almost dude!.... :D
This time on the morrow...we are sooo there.
I'm sure I've forgotten to pack something...
Yay to the Arizonian invasion this weekend! OMG you are so much fun! Gotta visit AZ!!! ;D ;D
It was such a pleasure to see you guys again and to meet some more wonderful people from AZ. I can't wait to move down there. We talked about it more with the whole family again today. It's looking more and more like this may very well be our last winter here in MN. If we even make the whole winter. I already told the family I'm ready to go tomorrow. My father in law I think was surprised at how willing I was to get on the ball. Some day soon, but it can't come soon enough for me. I'll miss the friends I've made here. But I can't stand the weather anymore.
Was great to meet all of you peeps from AZ! I hope your stay was full of memories to last you till we meet again! My fav was "Big butts", Oh and "She has a " " with teeth" :P. It really is people like you that make being part of these forums so much fun! I hope to visit you at your home faire soon!
Was so fun seeing you all!! Sorry we couldn't make it to any of the after fest activites.. :(
Hope to see you all during Christmas weekend when Bacardi and I are down, or else we will for sure see you President's weekend at AZRF!!
xoxo,
Muffin

And thanks to all of you folks for making our visit sooooooo much fun!
We are looking forward to hosting more of the Minnesotans to Arizona.
And you're welcome for the quote Toarmod ;) Feel free to use it anytime.
What a great time it was!! I always love meeting new people, hope a bunch of you make it down for presidents day!!
I have to say, the fish fry at Rain, the sweet corn at faire, and the burgers at Lion's Tap were incredibly tasty. You Minnesota folks sure know how to put out a delicious spread!
OK
No pictures of the Marquis in his kilt?, or carrying the mountain of his better half's purchases?. Let's see some pictures!

Love it!
He has such creamy white lovely knees! I don't know why he took such exception to donning the great kilt. ;D
Funny thing is....The Marquis doesn't seem to want to make any bets with me anymore. ;)

When you get beaten like that, and have to pay for all your purchases, and have to walk behind you all day (I for one would sign up for that duty and time! ;D), and discover that wearing a kilt is a good thing, well the poor guy has no where to go!.
Take some compassion on the poor Marquis, it will be time for our faire before you know it and he will have to hear about this all over again!.
