Just a few reminders as we bid farewell to the Mower County Fair.

We have another opportunity for fair fun with our Minnesota State Fair. The date is Aug. 26, Senior Day.

Leave the driving to us as we will take you by deluxe motorcoach. As you know it can be a good, yet exhausting day, but we can take care of your comfort. The fee is due by Monday. Departure time is 7 a.m.

We have openings and all ages, members and non-member alike can join us.

Call 1-507-438-3946 for reservations or questions.

We will be departing at 7 a.m. with a rest-stop en route. Return time will be approximately 7:30 p.m., with time allowed for a dinner stop. Features over 850 arts and crafts and 350 flea market booths.

You may also purchase fresh produce from the 100 farmers market vendors. Cranberries will be available in many ways including deep-fried on a stick, cream puffs, wine and candies.

This is not a yearly trip but with special occasion, as the village of Warrens is celebrating 150  years with many special activities. We just chose this year to be apart of it.

This small community and displays have made shopping and the cranberry tour very accessible.  It promises to be a fun day for all. Join us.

Our travel hours are from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, at the Mower County Senior Center.
