The Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

Next Tuesday will be the first Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.   How are they prepping?   Vineeta asked Blois Olson on The WCCO Morning News and The Morning Take. 

As we near the end of the Minnesota State Fair - we quizzed two of our audience members in a unique way about some of the highlights of the Minnesota State Fair! 

Lot of people on the roads this weekend, especially on Labor Day, so James Coleman stopped by to discuss gas prices with everyone traveling back home this holiday weekend, him teaching Energy Law at the U this fall and the need for law degrees!

Starting a business is one thing, making a business a success at the Minnesota State Fair is another but Tameka Jones has grown her business and the Fair helps many of these entrepreneurs do just that. We get her backstory of Lip Esteem and her experiences of operating a business out at the Fair!

Caught up with another WCCO Radio legend, David Mona chatted with Vineeta about another ‘Good Neighbor’ Tour coming up, reflected on the first Gophers game of the season and more! 

Royce Lewis made his presence known with late inning heroics for the Twins as they defeated the Blue Jays 4-3 to wrap up their homestand on a high note - we talked to Henry Lake about that and the Lynx stayed hot with a win over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky! Also asked him about the physicality with Caitlin Clark and the Gophers fireworks fiasco! 

For today's final episode of the Minnesota State Fair broadcasts we give the Sawkar Salute to the many helping hands out at the WCCO Radio booth, from Jimmy Erickson to Josh Wheeler back in studio or Meachael helping keep everything together in and around the booth!

Its an early Twins First Pitch segment on this Labor Day Monday, we talked to Dan Hayes of The Athletic about the Twins finishing their homestand with a series win over Toronto, Royce Lewis's late game heroics and preview the Tampa series as the playoff race starts to heat up in September. 

After a fun morning of chatting with just a handful of the legends who graced the airwaves of WCCO Radio recapped their time with the station and even serenaded the crowd with one collective ‘Good Morning’ sing along to cap it off! 

It has been a rough run as of late for the Twins lately, but bench coach Jayce Tingler joined us on Twins First Pitch to talk about this team hoping to turn it around and stay in the hunt for the strengthening AL Central and shared some of his must-haves at the Fair!
