Psst: That's not Goldy Gopher, but his cousin Fairchild, the mascot of the #MNState Fair. Fairchild is 28 years old while Goldy Gopher is 84.
I missed it but apparently Goldy Gopher & Mötley Crüe ushered in the Apocalypse last night at the Minnesota State Fair. Hoping that you all fare well in these End Times.

I missed news of Jerry Unteidt dying . A man with a true legacy in #Minnesota. Ask people what their favourite food at the #MNState fair is & 50% at least will say "Corn Roast" supplied by Unteidt Farms. What a gift he's given to those who worked with him & to all of us who enjoyed his food.

Week one of #mnstate employees back to work. Spent 2 months preparing the facility I'm in. I'm 1 of a team of 2. Find out MAPE is taking pictures of one storage cube from 3 angles and writing in their newsletter how the state of the workspace is shit. We are here too. Don't shit on your colleagues.
