Busy day

Hi there, Gus here.

Today my owner Steve Kemp was out and about throughout southeastern Minnesota.

He didn't take me along, and I'm jealous, because the first place he stopped was the Houston County American Dairy Association's 20th annual Breakfast on the Farm at the Stan and Bev Meyer family farm just outside of Eitzen. He and Linda got to see cows, tour the farm, eat pancakes and have lots of dairy foods. He even got to meet the Dairy Royalty and he saw Attendant Sophie Wiste demonstrate how to milk on a model cow.


Then he headed up to Winona to help the DFL endorsed Governor candidate, Margaret Anderson Kelliher, kick off a door knock.





Senator Sharon Erickson Ropes and Representative Gene Pelowski were also there to help kick it off. There were a good amount of people there, and many of them headed out to knock on some doors after everyone had a chance to chat, and hear what the candidates had to say.

Then, Steve and Senator Ropes headed down to the Mabel American Legion to attend a lefse-themed fund raiser for a local Relay for Life team. He got to meet many nice people, and he got to eat some tasty pieces of lefse (a Norwegian delicacy) stuffed with other goodies.




Last, but not least, Steve and Senator Ropes traveled to Fountain for their Trail Days parade. They were joined by many other energetic DFLers and walked the nice parade.

I wish I could have gone to the parade, hopefully I'll go to the next one. I'm just glad that Steve had a good time, and got to meet so many great people.
