One of Minnesota's biggest events suffered a major blow yesterday when a massive fire broke out and burned several buildings and hundreds of vendor booths to the ground.
Penn & Teller, made up of Penn Jillette (the tall, talkative one) and Teller (the short, silent one), have been performing together for 50 years. And believe it or not, it all started here in Minnesota.
Minnesota is known for big festivals from the Blues Fest in Duluth, to Renaissance Festival In Shakopee, to even the Great Minnesota Get Together, which by definition is a festival.
Despite the threat of severe thunderstorms, we ventured to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this past weekend. While it was windy, we managed to enjoy the shows, animals, shop, eat and drink before the rains hit. This is truly a magical place that you can enjoy while you learn of the Renaissance era.
