Governor to tour Iron Range amid state tourney fervor

Gov. Mark Dayton will be touring the Iron Range Friday and headlining the annual meeting of the Range Association of Municipalities and Schools that night.

The more amusing detail of his schedule is that he will be visiting Hibbing High School at the moment the Bluejackets will be wrapping up play against the Hermantown Hawks in the state hockey tournament. I wonder how that’s going to go?

“Hey, the governor’s here.”

“Who?”

“The governor.”

“Of what?”

“Minnesota.”

“The state?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Ask him, he’s here.”

(gazing back to TV) “Ahhhh. Maybe, er. Later.”

I kid. The governor is always welcome on the Iron Range. I just hope he’s not offended that most of the Iron Rangers won’t be here on Friday. And he’d better hope there’s no OT.
