Podcasts about great minnesota get together

The full Drivetime with DeRusha for Thursday August 27th, 2026. Live from the Minnesota State Fair.

Stephanie Shimp from Blue Barn and the Blue Table Booth joins Jason DeRusha live from the Great Minnesota Get Together. They chat about the Blue Barn building in the newer west end of the fair… they've been there since 2014. Stephanie and Jason talk about what it takes to get something like the Blue Barn built, their new menu items (she says it's important to have fresh options every year) and some of the politics behind getting on the Fair's “list”. In their second segment, Jason and Stephanie talk about the changes in drinking habits, how they've reacted as a business and some of the drinks they're offering at the Blue Barn.

Jason DeRusha and Dan Cook are LIVE from the Minnesota State Fair! Today is day 1 of 7 live shows that you can stop by and listen to live if you find yourself on the fairgrounds. Head on down to Carnes and Underwood and take in the shade under the WCCO Radio pergola. It's been one year since the Annunciation School shooting. Jason reflects on what has (mostly has not) happened in the year since and wonders if we've let Fletcher and Harper down by not doing anything. Jason discusses with listeners who have their own ideas of what legal steps we can take to combat gun violence. Jason is then joined by Stephanie Shimp from Blue Barn for the remainder of the hour.

The Sheriff Bob Fletcher breaks down the use of Flock Safety license plate reader cameras across Ramsey County, how they've contributed to sharp drops in auto theft and violent crime, the auditing and data practices in place, and why he sees them as a key public-safety tool amid ongoing debates in St. Paul and beyond. Then the conversation turns to the upcoming Minnesota State Fair: the extra security measures, increased staffing (especially after dark on the Midway), warning letters sent to hundreds of young people with possible gang ties, and the overall plans to keep the Great Minnesota Get-Together safe for the expected crowds.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We are getting close to the end of summer, so we've got some stories this week that just scream "vacation time". First up, Kala talks about Captain Tony's Saloon in Key West, Florida. This bar features tropical drinks, an 'old school Key West' atmosphere, a hanging tree growing inside, some gravestones, bras on the ceiling, and ghosts! What a wide variety of items to create such a unique atmosphere. When you're out partying, just remember to avoid the first stall in the bathroom, and absolutely do not climb the tree! And Brittany tells us all about the Great Minnesota Get Together! That's right, the Minnesota State Fair is haunted. While out searching for food on a stick, you could run into some specters dancing in overalls! Or maybe you'll get a tap on the shoulder while riding Ye Olde Mill! It sounds like all the ghosts are pretty harmless, and we wouldn't mind seeing them for ourselves. Except the pigman. No one wants to run into the pigman.
