         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Wednesday, July 11, 2012:  It was the annual Bean Hole Days in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. 

This fun event draws thousands of people especially on a bright summer day like this one was.

The water tower is in the shape of a fishing bobber....an interesting draw for tourists.
Five large pots of beans were buried in burning charcoal 24 hours before. 

Uncovered this day, they were hot and smelled great. 

What better way to stir the beans than with a canoe paddle. 

What else would you use?
Then it was time to serve the beans to the hungry crowd.
 

The event included dozens of art vendors and fast food stands.

Everyone walked away happy.
Quote of the day:  All that for a free cup of beans.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
