.
ANIMALS ARE WITH US HERE.
THEY'RE SO ADORABLE, MORE
THAN 300 RABBITS COMPETING AND
THAT IS ONE OF THEM.
LIZZY, WHERE ARE YOU FROM.
RIGHT HERE IN ST. PAUL.
THIS IS MARKUS AND HIS RABBIT'S
NAME IS DIAMOND.
HANNAH IS WITH ON ICHL.
BOBBY HAS THE BROWN ONE AND HIS
RABBIT'S NAME IS BROWNIE.
AND THEN SAGE HAS GEORGIA.
BOBBY, WAY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE.
WELL DONE.
SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS
DIFFERENT BREEDS, DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES.
AGILITY ISN'T SOMETHING
THAT'S DONE AT FARES,
NECESSARILY.
THE STATE FAIR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE
IT AS AN ACTUAL RABBIT THING.
CHANNEL 4 WILL, DON'T YOU
WORRY.
WHEN WE DO IT, THE JUDGE
LOOKS FOR A RABBIT WHO CAN GO
THROUGH WITHOUT KNOCKING DOWN
ANY BARS AND WITHOUT HAVING THE
PERSON PICK UP THE RABBIT.
AND YOU DO ACTUALLY TRAIN
THESE.
EASY TO TRAINER DIFFICULT?
PRETTY EASY.
YOU START WITH ONE OPEN THE
GROUPD LIKE THIS AND THEY --
GROUND LIKE THIS AND THEY JUMP
OFF JUST TO GET THE FEEL THAT
THE BARS WON'T HURT THEM.
ASK AND THEN YOU START WITH ONE
OF THESE AND HAVE ONE BAR AND
YOU SLOWLY MAKE IT HARDER UNTIL
THEY CAN DO IT.
SIT LIKE A DOG, LIZZY, DO YOU
GIVE IT A REWARD?
SOME PELL DO.
I'VE NEVER DONE THAT.
YOU'RE MORE OF A DISCIPLINE
AIR YEN, I SEE.
CAN YOU GIVE US AN EXAMPLE.
WHO IS GOING TO GO FIRST?
LET'S SEE HOW GEORGIA DOES.
GEORGIA HAS STAGE FRIGHT.
NICE.
SHE GOES IN, SEE IF SHE GOES
OUT.
OKAY.
HALF POINT FOR IN.
SHE JUST WANTS TO STAY THERE.
IT'S A BIG FREAK OUT ON TV.
SHE LOST POINTS FOR TOUCHING
HER RABBIT.
AND NOW WILL GEORGIA GO
THROUGH?
SHE SHOULD.
WHICH RABBIT WAS ON THE LOOSE
EARLIER?
THAT WAS BROWNIE, BOBB YSHGS
Y'S
RABBIT.
WELL DONE, GEORGIA.
HERE GOES BROWNIE.
OH, BROWNIE.
ADDED A LITTLE TRICK IN THERE
FOR YOU GUYS.
ALL RIGHT.
SEE IF HE'LL GO OUT.
YEP.
THERE HE GOES.
THERE HE GOES. AND THERE GOES BN
BROWNIE.
BROWNIE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE
COURSE.
ONYX JUMPED RIGHT IN.
NONE OF THEM WANT TO GO OUT,
DO THEY?
NO.
THEY WANT TO EAT THE GRASS.
THERE YOU GO.
MARKUS, IT'S UP TO YOU.
WILL THAT ONE GO THROUGH?
NO.
HE'S THE PRETTY RABBIT.
HE PROBABLY HAS A BETTER
AGENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WELL, YOU GUYS, CON FWRAT LAGSZ
-- CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR ANIMALS
ARE BEAUTIFUL.
WE SURE APPRECIATE YOU COMING
UP.
GOOD LUCK.
[ APPLAUSE ]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MIKE IS
HERE FROM THE MORNING SHOW.
HOW IS IT GOING.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AS WELL.
THERE ARE OVER 50 NEW FOODS AT
THE MENU AT THE STATE FAIR.
THEN THERE IS AT LEAST ONE THAT
YOU WON'T FIND ON ANY OFFICIAL
LIST.
IT'S THE ADULT ROOT BEER FLOAT
AT CAFE CARIB.
FAIR RULES DON'T ALLOW ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES TO BE ADVERTISED, BUT
THAT'S NEVER STOPPED US.
IT'S MIKE'S MIX THIS YEAR, THE
HARD ROOT BEER FLOAT.
SO IT'S NOT YOUR FATHER'S
ROOT BEER WHICH IS 5.9% ALCOHOL.
IT'S A SMALL BREWERY, PART OF
AN EMERGING TREND TOWARD SWEET
FLAVORED BEER.
CAME TO THEIR ATTENTION AT A
TASTING.
I SAW AND TALKED TO A LOT OF
CUSTOMERS THAT TRIED THE ROOT
BEER ON ITS OWN, BUT HEY, IT'S
THE STATE FAIR.
LET'S JAZZ IT UP.
WE'RE PAIRING IT WITH ICE
CREAM AND IT TASTES JUST LIKE A
ROOT BEER FLOAT.
SIERRA IS ONE OF THE
BARTENDERS AND TOLD US HOW THE
FLOAT IS MADE.
ICE CREAM, BEER.
IT'S JUST THAT EASY.
THEY'RE NOT KIDDING WHEN THEY
SAY THIS TASTES JUST LIKE ROOT
BEER, IT REALLY Z. I THINK I'M
GOING TO TELL THE BOSSES THIS IS
A PLAIN OLD ROOT BEER FLOAT.
DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
AND MAYBE PACE YOUR SELF-BY
ENJOYING SIGNATURE MENU ITEMS
THAT ARE A BREAK FROM STUFF ON A
STICK.
THE LOBSTER ROLL, LAST YEAR'S
BESTSELLER.
LOBSTER SALAD IN A CITRUS
DRESSING, SPICY, NEW ENGLAND
STYLE ON A LOBSTER BUN.
GRAB A TABLE, LISTEN TO THE
LIVE MUSIC AND DON'T BE
SURPRISED IF YOU SEE BILL WHO
WAS BACK FOR SECOND TASTE OF THE
ROOT BEER ON DAY ONE.
THEY'RE AWESOME, UNBELIEVABLE
AND I NORMALLY DON'T DRINK.
I'M NOT A BEER DRINKER OR A
DRINKER AT ALL AND MY KIDS GOT
ME HOOKED.
THEY'RE GREAT.
IT'S THE KIDS.
YEAH RIGHT.
IT'S ALWAYS THE KIDS.
THAT GUY WAS THE BEST.
I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT
BILL.
BILL IS LIKE THIS IS MY THIRD
ONE.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SAMPLES,
I'M SORRY.
