Here's what the resident Cultural Ambassadors had to say:

You Might Be From Smallsville IF...
you like the Winter Olympics better than the Summer Olympics.
you beam with pride when some King or Hollywood super star comes to the Mayo Clinic to save their lives.
you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
you have ever had an entire telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.
you think that ketchup is a little too spicy.
you support the preservation of forests, farmland and wetlands because that's where you hunt deer, pheasants and geese.
your daily meals are breakfast, dinner, and supper.
every January, from age 2 to 13, you let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post.
you believe human beings must all go through a frozen dormant period for four months every year.
you consider Lime Jell-O a highly versatile food: a breakfast dish when it is filled with fruit, a salad when it has shredded carrots and a dab of mayonnaise, and a dessert when topped with dreamwhip.
you firmly believe Bronko Nagurski was the greatest football player that ever lived.
the 1st time you entered the Metrodome you looked up & said, "sure could stack a lot of hay bales in here!"
your gas station thinks FULL SERVICE means filling your gas tank, washing the windshield, checking the oil and being friendly to the customers.

Here's what the visiting Cultural Ambassadors had to add:

You Might Be From Smallsville IF...
your town has an annual festival honoring a fruit, vegetable or ethnic food.
you praise the parents of the state's top basketball player for pulling him off of the team until his grades improve.
an old lady has ever helped you cross the street.
you laugh out loud every time you see a news report about a blizzard shutting down the entire east coast.
you understand, and can explain, illegal defense, the infield fly rule, and icing.
