It’s the end of summer when it’s the state fair

Slow start to eating my way through the opening night at the Minnesota State Fair….the Great get together. Fortunately I will have a few more opportunities.

My sights were set on Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings who were to perform at the Leine Free Stage. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings did not disappoint. It only took a couple minutes for people to get off their benches and rush the stage. It was hard not to move. Soulful tunes outdoors on a cool late summer night is as good as it gets. She invited people up on stage throughout the show to dance with her, and dance she did. A 4 foot 11 powerhouse, this woman can move and sing. I’m still smiling.

Sharon Jones is playing again tonight at 8:30. The Leine Stage by the space needle free. What a must see show.
