Episode Synopsis

Monday, August 18 — Back-to-school sticker shock, fair food debuts, and a powerful story of healing through service dogs. Families are feeling the pinch as back-to-school shopping gets more expensive — Beret Leone shares ways to save. Then: new eats are hitting the Minnesota State Fair, including the wild “Uncrustaburger.” Also today: major overnight road closures on I-35W, and how Helping Paws is training service dogs with help from local seniors. Plus: a scary week involving children and gun violence, a campaign announcement in Hennepin County, and the latest in the Minneapolis mayoral race. And in brighter news: meet the oldest lake trout ever recorded in the Great Lakes. Join Johnny Kahner for 4 Things to Know.
