3 Fulda/Lakefield/Slayton On Saturday, July 8 th, thirty-eight VIP members and guests (including some grandkids) enjoyed a beautiful day at Target Field where we watched the TWINS play the Baltimore Orioles. We stopped at the St James rest stop for our midmorning snack where we had fresh rolls from the Slayton Bakery to go with our coffee, juice and water. We got to Target Field with plenty of time to check out the statues, etc. that surround the outside of the field before we went in to find our seats. Unfortunately the TWINS lost that day but everyone seemed to enjoy the game anyway. We stopped at the Pizza Ranch in LeSueur for our evening meal. After we got back onto the bus we played several games of VIPGO with some TWINS items as our prizes. It was a wonderful day shared with good friends! 2A_MN
