Okay, this is fun.
Good Morning! Last night I started a social media experiment to see how long it would take one person from each of Minnesota's 87 counties to check in on here. Right now, we're at 47. So, look over the map, and if you know anyone in any of the final 40, feel free to send them an invite to check in.
