GOVERNOR'S NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERED IN SUPPORT.

>> ERIC: IT’S TIME FOR THE INDEX FILE SECTION OF OUR PROGRAM WHERE WE TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF MINNESOTA HISTORY.

THIS WEEK, WE WANT YOU TO IDENTIFY A MYSTERY PERSON.

THIS PERSON, NOT SEEN HERE, LIVED AND WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE TWIN CITIES FOR A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN 1984.

AFTER MOVING AWAY, HE OR SHE EMBARKED ON A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER AND IS HONORED IN A HALL OF FAME.

IN 2018, THIS PERSON RETURNED TO THE TWIN CITIES FOR WORK, AND WHILE IN TOWN VISITED THE SCHOOL HE OR SHE ATTENDED IN 1984.

OUR QUESTION IS SIMPLE, WHO IS THIS MYSTERY PERSON?

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER YOU’RE CALLING FROM DETROIT LAKES, NEW YORK MILLS, OR LITTLE CANADA.

651-229-1430 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH YOUR VERY BEST GUESSES.

OR YOU CAN EMAIL US AT ALMANAC@TPT.ORG.

WE'VE GOT JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR SOME SHOW-ENDING MUSIC.

IT WAS WAY BACK IN 1999 WHEN IRISH FOLK SINGER LIAM CLANCY AND HIS SON DÓNAL JOINED US TO PLUG THE MINNESOTA IRISH HERITAGE FAIR.

THE EVENT IS NOW CALLED THE IRISH FAIR OF MINNESOTA.

IT KICKED OFF TODAY ON HARRIET ISLAND AND IT RUNS ALL WEEKEND IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.

BE CAREFUL.
