I’ve lived in Faribault my entire life but my wife and I enjoy traveling all around Minnesota as well as the surrounding states. When I’m not at work I’m usually spending time with my grandchildren and my grown children. I enjoy going to watch the Vikings, especially at US Bank Stadium, concerts, taking my wife to various musicals and going out to eat… I really enjoy that, as my bathroom scale can attest. I love music and spend a lot of time on the weekends looking for CDs of big hair bands that I don’t currently have in my collection.

Are You Suffering from Rice County Fair Withdrawal?
Do you suffer from Rice County Fair withdrawal? I think I do. The Power 96/KDHL crew went out to tear down our booth at the fairgrounds and I already miss the crowds, the sounds, the music and the food. Don't get me wrong, it's a hectic schedule trying to juggle my duties at the radio station and th…
Win Prizes and Trophies at the Rice County Free Fair
One of the things I really enjoy about the Rice County Free Fair are all the free shows that they offer throughout the day for the whole run of this midsummer festival. Several of those free shows take place, near the kids rides area of the fair, on the Cannon Stage...

Morning at the Rice County Fair
I spend a lot of time at the Rice County Fair in Faribault, but most of that time is spent there in the afternoon and evening. I thought I'd drop by and wander the grounds in the morning and take some pictures of the fair before all the people arrived...
Mega Action at the Rice County Fair
I wanted to see the Mega Jump Pro Dirt Jam in the Rice County Free Fair Grandstand tonight but I knew I was going to busy at the Power 96 booth so it probably wasn't going to happen. Then the torrential rain came through and messed up the track and they ended up moving the show to the empty par…
