Kevin Kling and a One-Way Ticket to the MN State Fair

By Brendan Henehan

Kevin Kling and TPT go WAY back. Kevin first appeared on Almanac as a young performer in the summer of 1985. For the past decade, Kevin has been telling stories on Almanac on a regular basis. He insists that we book him for the Minnesota State Fair program - and we do just that each year for the show we shoot live at the MPR stage. The Fair is a great venue for Kevin: It gives him an excuse to talk about the farmers in his family, including one of his relatives who was "as wide as he was tall. We used to say if it wasn't for the direction of his buttons, we wouldn't know if he was standing up or laying down." With Kevin, the State Fairs stories keep coming.
