Details of Senior Citizen Day at the Steele County Free Fair in Owatonna will be discussed on AM Minnesota at 9:30AM.

It was sure fun visiting with Harley Manke and going down memory lane about Manke's Outdoor Equipment and Appliance.

In the early years of their 70-year-old business, they sold new Packard automobiles under the old wooden grandstand.

Harley told KDHL AM Minnesota listeners that 65 of those 70 years they've been at the SCFF, and he says it's definitely been good for business.
