SPAMARAMA™ Coverage
from Austin. Minn. (the home town of Hormel).The locals there seem amused
and perplexed by the crazy antics of us Austin, Texas types. Wonders aloud
as to why Hormel is not a big sponsor of the event.

| Even in Indianapolis they know about SPAMARAMA™ !
A small mention, but the buzz is growing. I hope to see some RV's with
Indiana plates at the festival.
