Today I spent sightseeing in and around Minot. And, when I learned it was the last day of the North Dakota State Fair, in Minot, how could I resist. I missed the rodeo, but I saw the North Dakota State Arm Wrestling Championship. Did you know they had weight divisions? I didn't. I didn't even know there was a North Dakota State Arm Wrestling Championship. The two guys in the photo above were in the open-heavy weight division. By the way, the guy on the right won. No contest there, or the semifinal bout either. I didn't see any side bets, or hear any mention of a winner's purse, so you gotta figure these guys were in it for the glory, the trophy, and the record book.
The fair ends tonight, so even if I get bored tomorrow I can't go back. Too bad, as I would like to look at the static display of some of the largest farm equipment ever. Monster stuff for the monster farms in much of the Dakotas.
The weather today was most pleasant, with a high around 70, and near zero humidity, all under the most brilliant blue skies you can imagine. There was a light wind, but in North Dakota there is always a light (or more) wind.
I really like Minot and would love to go back to see all the changes since we were all there! Keep up the great blogging!
