Fall fest this year turned in to a political hot spot. Now during this great fall event at chester bowl there is normally a couple of politicians. It however is not a hot spot for many of the higher up seats, you get your local politicians city council, school board, county board from time to time. You don't normally see state or federal candidates much there.
First let me say that fall fest is a great event held at chester bowl every year in late September, farmers market, food, music, and other vendors. Fun time held by all who go to it. This year saw an political spectrum from the democrats and republicans. Both candidates for state house 7A where their, Jen Shultz and Becky Hall. The DFL had a both there as well. The thing that does not happen much is the republicans got something right, and brought Stewart Mills (running congress 8th) Jeff Johnson ( running for Governor) at this event. Now they where in town for the Ronald Reagan dinner. However for them to realize that this event has hundreds to thousands of people and bring them to is remarkable, they never get anything right up here.
Mills and Johnson did not get to the event till about 2:30 or 3 as they where huge gun show in Cloquet . Still there where a lot people at the event at this time. They also where there in support of 7A candidate Becky Hall who had a booth at the event. They used there time wisely meeting with people threw out the park. Just shocked they did this. What it will mean for them is yet to be seen. I can't say Mills or Johnson have not been up here any more however :( .
Now on to a note for both 7A candidates get out of your booth more and meet and go to the people not wait for them to come to you as events like this. There was far to much sitting and standing at your booth by both of you.
