The Morning Show is broadcasting live from the Minnesota State Fair this week… in the afternoon! You can catch Jill and Nil at the MPR Booth on Judson near Nelson from 3 pm - 7 pm, Monday through Thursday, with special guests, live performances, and all of the music discovery you’ve come to expect in the morning… but in the afternoon! You can keep up with everything The Current has going on at the fair this year right here.

Since The Morning Show is in the afternoon this week, The Coffee Break will kick off at 5:30 pm with the same amount of fun…and some of the fun of the fair is all about the rides. Let’s craft a playlist full of songs about fair rides and roller coasters to help celebrate the fair!

So for today’s 5:30 Dairy Break, what songs about roller coasters or rides would you like to hear?
