    Default Great Waters Expo/Ideas for my wife?

    Hello everyone. Hoping to make it to the Great Waters Flyfishing Expo in Blaine, MN later this month. I wasn't able to make it last year when it moved to Blaine. In years past my wife would drop me off at the expo and she would do this and that in the Minneapolis area all day and come pick me up later.

    Since the expo has moved to Blaine she is a little worried about keeping herself busy all day since Blaine is a little more "off the beaten path". Any suggestions for things she can do in the area. (I know, she could come to the expo. I tried that. She isn't interested.)

    Thanks.

    Golly, Royce, I thought you'd have been overwhelmed by folks that know more than I do!
    Blaine isn't exactly the thules, it's right there in the Cities and I don't think your wifew is going to have any trouble find amusment. I'm told that it's only 20-25 minutes from Downtown Minniapolis, if that's her cup of tea.

    "thules", looked it up. "supposed to be the most northerly region of the world". Now all I have to do is find a conversation in which I can inject my newfound vocabulary.

    Look up Thule AFB on Greenland, if you wanna see where the ultimate Air Force punishment spot is...

    Royce,

    She is your wife.

    She is required to obey you.

    Order her to come to the expo with you.

    Tell her you'll need someone to carry all the stuff you are going to buy so your hands will be free to examine other items.

    Please let me know if this works.......or which hospital to send the get well card to if it does not.

    If I tried that you wouldn't be sending a card to a hospital. You would be sending flowers to a funeral home. Either that or this would be the last time I had to worry about something like this because by the time next year's expo rolled around I would be single!
