Another Airstream visitor

The Lee family of Moorhead, MN camped for a few nights here sportin this classic 1963 Airstream. One of my favorite campers. They said it also contains solar pannels for the elctricity...how clever is that.
This is our second Airstream since ownership of resort in 2003.

Joe, showing off?!?

haha, hardly- The Olsons of Rochester offer their toys for me to play with when they venture Sleeping Fawn every July. I decided to try out the knee board again, it has been a while since last on them, but I caught on quick.

Baby Loons! yes- 2 of them

These pictures were taken July 12-19th. There were two baby loons in 2008, we had 1 baby loon in 2007 as well.

The sad news is we lost one of the baby loons, unsure the cause of loss. But we still wanted to share photos of when they were just days old. Enjoy

MVCC BINGO night

It was our last night of Bingo for the year at the Mantrap Valley Conservation Club, we had a record amount of people, in fact we had to turn people away due to the fact we ran out of bingo cards....as you can see, I am the caller for the event....haha Until next year!

taste of Dorset

Every 1st Sunday of August the town of Dorset puts on a eating festival called "taste of Dorset" which draws thousands of visitors to the area. The main street is closed off, the live bands perform polka and other folk music, and all the restaurants have sample food for dirt cheap...The food is simply amazing, all the other shops open up with crafts and such.

This is a must see event if you can handle the crowds!
