Miss Minnesota 2011 at the Minnesota Vikings Training Camp in Mankato for Angie's Ketlle Corn

The Minnesota Vikings Training Camp in Mankato is an EXPERIENCE! Miss Minnesota was there making sure the attendees all had a chance to try Angie's Kettle Corn. She was amazed at all the autographs she signed...from hats, trophies, horns, jerseys, ( check out all the Peterson #28 jerseys Natalie was signing) over 2000 signed up for a lottery to get an AP autograph and only about 150 were chosen. WOW.. AP stayed and signed all of them. He was very nice and happy to meet Miss Minnesota. All 8 running backs we given an extra big bag of Angie's Kettle corn. The crowd was yelling each Vikings name hoping to get an autograph...eventually we heard "Miss Minnesota" "Miss Minnesota can I have your autograph?" It is really fun to see all the happy faces on many of the little girls and boys, young and old alike!
Fun day for all! Thank you Angie's Kettle Corn for your support of the Miss Mankato and Miss Minnesota organizations! You are so SWEET & Salty!
