Officials: Referee-Kristine Langley; Linesmen-Kelli Rolstad, Laura Johnson
Attendance: 1,236
There was snow falling at 1:40 am when I picked up Laura from the airport as her flight was delayed. We left the house at 6:45 am to meet Krissy in Maple Grove. Stopping in Brainerd to drop Stella off, in Berrrrrr-midji to say hi to Vance and take some photos (Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue ox on the lake in Bemidji / duck attacking Krissy and her car in retribution for taking out the bird on the road / Giant Fish with some really scarry teeth / sign that I tell everyone about up by the boarder pointing to a city in MN and Canada). The only bummer was the attendance; when I did this game on the tour with PR and Lisa for the Salt Lake pre-tour the place was packed past fire code. Krissy did a nice job of getting us there and back safely.
