In Minnesota, where we have short summers, we like to take advantage of every opportunity to soak up some sun and get outside and play.  This culminates with the “Great Minnesota Get-together” — the State Fair.  It is one of the largest and, in my opinion, best in the nation.

 As a way to celebrate the traditional end of the Summer and the last day of the Minnesota State Fair, I recorded this video with my new Kodak Zi10 HD video camera.

I have also started a new YouTube Channel for the BackyardLifeBlog.com.  You can access it at http://www.youtube.com/user/BackyardLifeBlog?feature=mhee.  I hope to share videos of my experiences around town and around the country.  There may also be a video blog thrown in here or there.  Please feel free to subscribe to the channel to keep up to date on the happenings around here. Also, consider subscribing to the RSS feed to have new articles emailed to you when they are released.
