Our county fair is one of the greatest county fairs around, in my opinion.

All the people attending the fair is a testament to all the changes and activities each day.

On Aug. 26, we will take a motorcoach to an even larger fair.

The Minnesota State Fair is rated as one of the country’s biggest and best. We will depart at 7:30 a.m. from Walmart and return at about 6:30 p.m.

Our Midwest living provides so many ways to show off our best achievements in so many ways. You will enjoy the animals, farm equipment, 4-H, craft buildings the many food stands. There are music venues everywhere.

The fair parking is convenient; plus, we take care of your entrance fee and send you along with a bottle of cold water and a snack to start your busy day.

Call us at 507-438-3946 or 507-433- 9391. You need not be a member, and all ages may join us.

Thursday is our annual mystery trip.

We will depart at 7:30 a.m. and return at about 6:30 p.m. This is another new destination with our third clue being, “Looking for BettyLou.”

We do have a couple of late cancellations, and you can still join us.

Our Oct. 13-19 trip to Nashville, Tenn., is coming and balance is now due.

This is an extended fall motorcoach trip, full of activities when we will explore Nashville, its night life and tours including the Country Music Hall of fame. Join us.

Nov. 13-16 is our Kansas City and Branson Christmas tour with some new destinations and new shows.

More information on all of our travel plans are available at the Mower County Senior Center, or by calling our travel number. Our mailing address remains 1002 16th Street SW, Austin, MN, 55912.

Have your guesses ready for the mystery trip. See you on Thursday.
