Did you actually drive your rental car to the fairgrounds and park on the fairgrounds? We are going to be staying near the airport and found that there is a bus next to the mall of America and we hope to take that bus. I am disabled and using a wheelchair that I am bringing with me from Orlando. It will just be my husband and me coming. We used to live in Hudson Wisconsin until 1984 when we moved to the Orlando area Where my husband had secured a job... he is 74 but still working because he loves his work.
