PR On A Stick - Karwoski & Courage At Minnesota State Fair

Every year, Karwoski & Courage takes a day off to visit the Minnesota State Fair, enjoy some friendly competition, and generally have fun. This year was no different.

The Rules

This is verbatim from the Official Karwoski & Courage #PRonaStick Minnesota State Fair Outing Handbook:

Team Challenge

You spoke and we listened – we will be doing away with the photo scavenger hunt this year. In its place we will be having three competitions.

Competition 1: Melee At The Midway

This challenge will consist of an 8 round duke-it-out challenge of the Midway games. Each team will send one team member to battle it out in a variety of different fair games, from throwing a Ping-Pong ball in a fish bowl, to shooting a target, to knocking over the pins. Points will be awarded as follows for each game: 1st place receives 4 points, 2nd place receives 3 points, 3rd place receives 2 points, and last place receives 1. But remember, it’s all fun and games, until you learn what the grand prize will be.

Competition 2: Trivia Challenge at the Commissary

We’ll all meet up at lunchtime and try to eat even more Fair food. We’ll also have a team game of trivia happening with a couple rounds of questions. After each round, the announcer will collect each team’s

answers and tally up the points. The team with the most number of points at the end will be declared the winners of trivia. The number of points awarded for trivia are as follows: 1st place receives 10 points, 2nd place receives 8 points, 3rd place receives 6 points, and last place receives 4.

Competition 3: Team Costume Contest

This is a standalone contest and doesn’t affect the points total for the grand prize. Coordinate your Fair outfits with your team, and whichever team has the best outfits wins. Glenn will be the judge, so no complaining.

The Games

Wack A Mole

Shawne vanquishes the Wack A Mole competition and is rewarded with a striped, stuffed, something:

Darts

Minnesota State Fair - Darts
See that dart by the pink balloon in the center? That dart is on it’s way to pop a balloon because it was thrown by Vanessa, The Dart Pro.

Ball Toss

Glenn, Connor, Emily W. and Kristin try the ball toss. Pay attention to where both Emily W. and Kristin hit their pyramids of cups. I know, right? Right smack dab in the middle of the base of the cups. We think some of those cups are glued down.

The Food

Minnesota State Fair - Halli, Glenn & Jennifer
Halli & Jennifer start off the morning with pronto pups and a beer while Glenn says, yeah, no thanks.
Minnesota State Fair - Deep Fried Pickle
That’s a deep fried pickle, right there.
Minnesota State Fair - Pizza On A Stick
Coral goes for the pizza on a stick…
Minnesota State Fair - Corn And Bacon Pizza

The Not-So Fun

Minnesota State Fair - Seniors Day
It was Seniors Day at the Minnesota State Fair. The blurriness is not the camera. That’s how HOT it was!

The Fun

Minnesota State Fair - Craft Beers
Lots of craft beer at the State Fair, even if it comes in a plastic cup.
