The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota

#1 Post by Spock » Fri Jul 08, 2022 12:13 pm

Song by Wierd Al -to the tune of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

Spent Sunday, July 3rd with the youngest on a quick trip to the Cities.

He has had a hard time finding bullets for his new rifle and about the only reasonably close place was in a northern suburb of the Twin Cities.

So we did that-and as is our custom on any trip to the Cities we stopped at my favorite restaurant.

Maverick's Real Roast Beef.

Plus a quick stop at a used bookstore that is close to Mavericks.

Then we came home a different way, which took us to Darwin, MN-the home of the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

For a video spoof the Wierd Al song.

As we approached the site-we had the song blaring in the pickup. I could not get him to take a picture with it though. Funnily enough, there were really people by it and taking pictures.

Apparently, several states are players in the Twine Ball world and I have been suggesting to the family that we should build a trip around seeing them all. I am not getting very far with that though.
