TeamFranken’s State Fair Update: Day 7

Al Makes a Mean Guacamole
Another good day at the Fair! Al was a guest guacamole chef at Tejas Express in the Crossroads building, where the crowd built to about 200 people as Al chatted with the good folks at Tejas Express while demonstrating his guacamole-making technique.
Al is Interviewed by U of M Students
On the way over to the WCCO Radio booth, Al stopped at the U of M School of Public Health’s booth (also in the Crosssroads building) where they had a video camera set up for visitors to respond to questions about public health and their own health habits. Al talked about funding for AIDS research and food safety, and then came the hard-hitting question: when was the last time he’d washed his hands? (Al’s response: “Just 10 minutes ago, because I made guacamole for a couple hundred people, and I thought it would be a good idea.”)
Al with Don Shelby on WCCO Radio
At WCCO Radio, Al spoke live-from-the-Fair with Don Shelby about energy policy, like Al’s support of the proposal to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to lower gas prices immediately. It’s something Republican Norm Coleman opposes.
And we’re having a great time at our Franken for Senate booth – stop by when you’re at the Fair to say hello to our volunteers, check out which policy we’re highlighting on our State Fair trading cards that day, pick up Franni’s apple pie recipe and you’ll probably even run into a member of the Franken family!
