Two days of driving rain and I finally in Minnesota. Come by the Expo in St. Paul at the state fair grounds and see the new Kodiak disc brakes. We have the Cushion EZ Clean floor too and hydraulic saddle racks, electric bale loader, automatic water bowls inside and out plus much, much more to see. In in the Cattle barn on the West side in the Hart booth with Widdes Trailer Sales. Come by and get a free Western Horseman Magazine. Pictures tomorrow.

The weather is great, in the seventies. The show starts at 8.30, but before that the parking lot was almost full. The street between the main buildings is a great place to watch the horses. They all go up the same street in both ways from the horse barn. Pictures at http://www.mrtrailer.com/harttour.htm

I'd love to come to the MA Equine Affair, but for now it's booked. If they have an opening, we'll come. Talked to the president of the Minnesota Horse Expo today and he thought this year would beat 60,000 visitors. The horse world is growing, allot of baby boomers are buying their first horse after retiring. We have more handicapped folks enjoying horses now too, so there will be some trailer changes like the RV industry to accommodate their needs.

Awesome horse folk live in Minnesota! It's very nice meeting the folks that visit this forum. With the internet you don't see the people you visit with and when you do, it all becomes more real.
The Minnesota State Fair grounds police surrounded me and my little Crusin Cooler when I came back from my truck getting my camera. I thought maybe they got a peak at my sealed school records. But my major crime was riding the Cooler. So I parked it and the next day the police surrounded my Cooler in the booth and staked it out until I got there in the morning. So another round of explaining life to the nervous officers. I liked the police ladies on horseback the day before better.
I'm just glad I didn't spit on the sidewalk or belch, or other felony behavior. Oh well all is good, if they are hasseling me, they don't have time to bother other people enjoying the expo. It was a great show, I'll hope I can come back next year. In Iowa now, trying to load pictures. I've upgraded to Super 8, even have a Lazy Boy recliner in my room. Wish I had time to visit Featherlite and Kiefer while here, but my wife thinks I've been gone long enough.
