The day was off to a crowded but chilly start at “The great Minnesota get together.” Early morning temperatures left fairgoers wanting to start off their day inside until the sun warmed things up. Standing in line before the 9 a.m. opening of the Education Building, some were discussing how a Spam breakfast sandwich from the stand nearby might taste.
We were excited to begin the day with President Robert Musgrove of Pine Technical College in Pine City, Minn. Two lucky contestants who participated in our spin-to-win “Wheel of Luck” game received Pine Tech backpacks from the president himself.
Later in the afternoon, Winona State University brought several enthusiastic representatives including Seth Wing and John Kite, who helped with a few wheel spins as well. The crowd received a huge boost when Winona State President Judith Ramaley came in wearing purple from head to toe, still enjoying her school’s big season opening football win over nationally ranked Carson-Newman this past Thursday.
Our Second Life expert of the day, Ray Pascoe, was kept busy as he streamed a concert live on the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities "island" in Second Life with a guitarist who was playing from a basement in Canada! It showed everyone how the Second Life virtual world is connecting people from all over the world.
