Jim certainly represented the county fair very well this morning (I was at the kickoff breakfast), and the accidental loudness of the speakers, which probably broadcast Jim's voice to who knows how many listeners, ought to raise awareness of the event. It did seem like there was a point at which a radio technician whispered to a fair board member, asking if it would be OK to turn down the speakers. But why not get a little publicity?

I would think that high of coverage on WCCO should help out attendance.

Thanks for the correction.
