Northern Thunder Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I just got home from the Minnesota State Fair, and they have a brand new heritage center/museum. On the wall (as part of an exhibit of marching bands, drum & bugle corps, etc. that have performed at the fair since 1859) was a photo of the Alberta Girls Drum & Bugle Corps, taken at the fair in 1974. I know Linda was with the corps after that time, but I thought it was interesting that they did a concert there. I was working in radio at the fair in 1974, and I never even knew they performed that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 It turns out that yesterday was the biggest single day attendance in Minnesota State Fair history, with over 252,000 people! Many of them were standing ahead of me in lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thank you Brian for helping us piece together the 1974 puzzle. The ladies had 4 tours that summer. Debbie G allowed me to scan her tentative schedule. One of the tours is below. She wore a tee shirt she bought in Ithaca 1974 at DCI finals 2007. I'll tell her the news of Minnesota State Fair next time I see her. Thanks again. I hope the weather was fine when you stood in line :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 That's great! I didn't realize they were here for a Minnesota Vikings game performance. And yes......the weather was very nice. That helped contribute to the HUGE crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helped contribute to the HUGE crowd. It takes time for me to respond. My apologies. The weather here is cold now. Frozen is amazing. Very Cool! HUGEst crowd for me was 60,000 in Amsterdam 1977 half time show during a football game between Liverpool and Barcelona. We were overwhelmed.
