Hertz drove his vehicle all the way from California -- “I sell what I call cowboy western furniture and lighting. Just to make sure alpha omega western furnishings was a part of the Minnesota state fair, he pulled up 5,000 pounds of furniture up over-hill after making the 4-day drive. “I unloaded on Saturday then I parked my truck and trailer and unhooked my truck from the trailer Saturday night. “I have a lot on this show, we don’t make a lot of money and we support that nonprofit,” Hertz said. He said he doesn’t know how he’s going to get home yet, but he’s trusting God. Hertz spent 11 years paying on the vehicle and the insurance isn’t going to give him. Source: www.fox9.com
