         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Wednesday July 16, 2014:   

The Annual Country Sampler Picnic was held at the Northland Arboretum in Brainerd.

About 900 people attended this popular event.
Music was provided by a band made up of local people including WJJY Radio morning show host Ken Thomas (on the right). 

They played and sang popular songs with their own words.  Very funny.
Junior Teen and Miss Teen Brainerd vying for a Minnesota 2015 title.

And then there are younger ones who will also try someday as well.
Even the Veteran Beer Company was there to hand out samples.

Beer made by veterans for veterans and everyone.
Then the stagecoach arrived from Action Entertainment in Pine River.

Horse teams that night were Princess and Bud along with Torrey and Lacey in this photo.

Dennis Drummond teaches wine making at Central Lakes College.  He provided samples too. 

Brainerd mayor James Wallin, in the right on the above photo, was out campaigning for re-election.
Even photographer Kelly Humphrey was there from the Brainerd Dispatch newspaper.

She does wonderful work. 

Then the pig races were held.  A fun event for children and adults.

The joke is that the pig that loses the race is served as a pork sandwich the next day.

Ouch!
Quote of the day:  Anything for a free lunch.   Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
