2026 Saint Paul Booya Schedule

Leave a comment
Booya is a hearty stew cooked up in large cauldrons for fundraisers
After the MN State Fair ends two seasons start, “Back to School,” and Booya.  The latter starts the weekend after Labor Day and usually runs to just before the General Election in November.

Booya might mean something to another part of the country but in the Upper Midwest it means a thick stew that is mixed and cooked up in a giant vat, or 55 gallon drum and served at non-profits and churches by the bowl until it’s gone.

While Booyas are not political in nature, we’ll add an extra notation of what Minnesota House District in Saint Paul or a nearby suburb each Booya is located in case your House District group wants to meet there.

Our list is copied from the Pioneer Press post from September 3 and updated by Jess Fleming on September 10th 2026. Here’s the link to their post “It’s booya time! Here’s where to get a bowl of that thick, rich stew.”

Be Wary of the DFL Mini Donut Stand at the MN State Fair

Leave a comment
10th Ward Rural Ramsey DFL Donut Booth is located to the Left of the Ramp into the Grandstand.

Be Wary of the DFL Mini-Donut Stand at the MN State Fair

The DFL Mini-Donut Stand is at Coordinates 44°58’51.5″N 93°10’25.0″W

DFL Mini-Donut Stand Satellite Map

If you buy products from this mini-donut stand you will be unknowingly (or knowingly if you are a DFLer) funding DFL Candidates through the Best Fair Foods Political Action Committee, what had been the 10th Ward Rural Ramsey County Political Committee, through 2020 when it was terminated to start under the new name.

Some Recent DFL recipients since Redistricting in 2022:

So it is up to you to be wary of this location.  With every purchase there you are helping DFLers defeat Republicans in Minnesota.

Retired Career Politician, Phyllis Kahn, DFL stands in front of the “Grandstand” Mini-Donuts.

Now these folks make a lot of money at the state fair from mini-donuts that would make the health conscious zealots cringe.  The booth is not marked as the DFL Mini Donut Stand,  there is no disclaimer on the booth as to where the money of this group goes to.

There ought to be a law that requires them to reveal who they are and where the money goes.

Rep Randy Jessup & Sen Roger Chamberlain tried to Make a Law

Almost every session of the MN State Legislature, there is a bill that Republicans put together that requires groups that raise money at the State Fair or other public events to show on a visible sign where the money goes to.  It isn’t making their operation illegal, but they want the customers to have all the information about the vendor before they make a purchase.

During the 2017 Session former Rep Randy Jessup of 42A & former Sen Roger Chamberlain SD 38 had made similar bills that were added to the Omnibus bill.  They were not signed into law by then DFL Governor Mark Dayton.

Rep Jessup did say there is a limit on the number of bags of donuts one can purchase–4 bags.  Any more than 4 you purchase they will have to make a record of it being a contribution.

They do tell their volunteers who work there to not wear any sort of political statements on their clothes, hats, or even buttons.

This article is just to identify where the DFL Mini-Donut Stand is. This post is by permission from the saintpaulrepublicans.us website. If you don’t want to give money to the DFL to defeat Republican candidates then you can find another Donut Stand, or to Sweet Martha’s Cookies which is nearby.  If you are a DFLer and you want to fundraise then that is up to you to.  It is just unethical of a party sympathizer to not be open about where their excess money goes. — admin

Maryland Avenue Corridor Open House August 5th 4-6 pm at North End Community Center

Leave a comment
The road from the southeast corner of Lake Como from East Como Blvd down Victoria to Maryland Avenue all the way to Rice St where the “North End” label is at is what is in question.

What:  Maryland Avenue Corridor Study Open House

When:  Wednesday, August 5th, 4-6 pm

Where: North End Community Center, 145 Lawson Ave W (Rice), St Paul MN 55117 Map

Survey:  Take the survey and be heard.  Stpaul.gov/marylandavenue

The City of St Paul is $26 million short of meeting it’s budget and something has to be cut or like normal property taxes will have to increase.

One of the projects that needs to be cut is this Maryland Avenue Corridor Plan by the St Paul Public Works. Upon taking the survey, what they don’t offer in the survey is the option not to change anything on West Maryland Avenue. They give 2 options and both are to rip up the street and one is to eliminate the ability to park your car in front of your house or the apartment building you live in. Another expands the opportunity to ride your bike in a lane designated for bikes and expanded walkways. There is one that shows bus stops for the H-Line Rapid Bus Line which won’t help out too many people in the area as it will stop every 4 City Blocks or every 1/4 mile (Dale St and Western and Rice). There’s thousands of people that live between those streets.

This stretch from Rice Street to East Como Blvd is mainly a residential neighborhood with working poor, middle class and a lot of apartment dwellers. The Open House is scheduled at a time when most of them will be at work or just leaving work. This is the usual schtick of the career politicians who run our “Most Livable City.”

This is our district. All politics are local and ignoring this local issue is not a good idea as it is set to disrupt the lives of those who live on the street or near it.  It is important to these voters. Some people are 1 issue voters. This could be the 1 issue that ends the reign of the socialists of the Farmer & Labor Party, the socialist side of the DFL from the first day they merged in the mid 1940s.

Be there
