I think my kid is going to want to go, so thanks for the coupons Paul. One year we went on Pharoah's Revenge. OMG. I was sick for days afterwards.

Tamara, the secret is you get as much money out of the atm as you can and then plan on spending it all.  But it the 'Zra is gonna go texan and try to beat the carnies at their games then you're gonna need some extra money.  He will, I'm sure, eventually figure out the trick though and you should have some nice stuffed animals and cotton candy to show for it.  

Look for me, I'll be the sunburned giant, pushing a stroller with the fluorescent arm band and a pained look on my face counting the years until all of my kids are old enough to ride with their friends, not me. 

But it's one of the great traditions of Duluth when the fair is in town, that and trying to keep the semi-homeless kids who normally hang out at the Holiday Center from introducing too many new std's into the Twin Ports network.

The Mighty Thomas Show is responsible for the cold, rainy, and generally crappy weather we have been having all week.  Could not the bastards either stay the hell away or come the weekend of Grandma's?

I am the mom that tells her kids that the Thomas Shows eat children. That way they wait for the Head of the Lakes Fair when I can have social services visit me in the beer tent! Awww, tradition.

The cheesiness is half the fun.  The Mighty Thomas Carnival is the ultimate in pop art.

Does anyone know when the carnival ends?
thanks!

Thanks very much. I just read it on the coupon.
If you know of any other carnivals coming up I'd love to know. Thanks again!!

I am headed to Duluth tonight for a short little vacation. I have a few things planned to do and to check out the carnival is an option I would like to keep on the table but I cannot find where it's at. Where is the carnival located? Thanks
