Minnesota State Fair bound!

Fun-seekers Bev and Benita
It's never too late to strike an item off your bucket list.
Beverly has never attended the Great Minnesota Get-together, The State Fair. After a 93 year wait, on Monday she'll motor on over to St. Paul in a carload of girls, (Jill, Marcia and Benita) for Senior Day at the fair. There will be no Tilt-a-Whirls, we're told, but they're already planning on gorging themselves.
For her part, Benita has been to the State Fair many times, but prefers the Renaissance Festival. (No Jill, forget that. Sheesh. The Renaissance is definitely not on Mom's bucket list, we're sure. ... although the popovers with melted honey butter are unforgettable.)
Benita teased the rookie: "Hey Beverly, what's the difference between a Pronto Pup and a Corn Dog?"
???
The excitement builds.
