“Happy 39th birthday to Major Sverre Sundgaard! Sverre is a loyal listener and sustainer. He’s currently deployed in the Middle East with the Minnesota National Guard. His son Thor and daughter Zocia are excited for their dad to be home by Christmas.“

“Paula Allan is celebrating her birthday on Aug. 30 at the Fair and plans to be in the audience at the MPR booth that morning. She dedicated a State Fair bench in honor of her father this summer. He grew plants in his greenhouses in Osseo. His yellow bench says ‘Plant One Here!’”
