"From the pen of a Prairie Home Companion writer comes this
inspired collection of well-known and not-so-well-known Minnesota
oddities. Read about places such as Basshenge in Birchdale and the Home
of Swollen Big Toe; events such as the Eelpout Festival; and phenomenon
such as the world's largest prairie chicken. Even longtime residents of
the Twin Cities may be surprised to discover the No Wake Café, situated
on a Mississippi barge, and to learn how Princess Kay of the Milky Way
gets sculpted in butter. Don't miss the insightful commentary on the
state's most illustrious curiosity--Governor Jesse Ventura."
