John Dvorak, the Rice County Executive Secretary of the Rice County Fair, was on today's AM Minnesota program. With the Rice County Fair last week, this was the final Fair Talk for 2016. You could tell John was disappointed with how the 2016 Rice County Fair turned out. How do you handle a heat index of well over 100 degrees? John said, "I know I cannot control the weather, but I still feel responsible. It has been hot before during the fair but this year it seemed to hang on for more days."

Just to make it worse, when the heat broke Saturday morning it rained until early afternoon. With the heavy rain, the NTPA Truck and Tractor Pull was canceled. However, we did have some fun Saturday afternoon. John and I both took a turn riding the mechanical bull. I just want to point out that John managed to "fix" the contest. He told the people running the ride that if he did not win, he would not let them come back next year! I was thrown off in 5 seconds and John was on for 16 seconds. See for yourself! Watch the video of the mechanical bull riding.
