A Personal Invitation to Residents of New Orleans 


I understand that there are a lot of New Orleans residents currently taking an unexpected and indefinite vacation. 

Just how indefinite, we'll know in a few days after Katrina passes through and we have a chance to see what the damage is like.

In the meanwhile....

If you're fleeing New Orleans and looking for some place to go, allow me to extend you a personal invitation to join us at the Minnesota State Fair. Going on now through next Monday, this is the largest state fair in the country. It is sort of like a midwestern Lutheran version of Mardi Gras, which is to say, less nudity, and more deep-fried food on a stick.

As a bonus, the weather is supposed to be perfect: sunny skies, low humidity, highs in the 70's and low 80's. In fact, the whole month of August has been pretty much ideal weather-wise (makes up for January).

So feel free to join us. I can guarantee it will be more pleasant here than down there for the next few days, and there's lots of hotel rooms still available.
