INT. STUDIO-DAY

INSERT MUSIC

There is music playing the background, slowly fading out for the anchor to begin talking. The anchor, KATE is seated in studio, ready to begin the special news report.

KATE

                        Hello, and welcome to the news, bringing you the most accurate and up to date

                        information. Today we are having a special on Minnesota. We will be on location with

                        Minnesota folks, as well as recap the state’s bizarre winter conditions this year.

“On Location” with SARAH, ASHLEY, AND JOCELYN, all speaking in Minnesotan accents.

SARAH

                        I’m Sarah Sluka, reporting from the exotic wilderness of Minnesota with my fellow

                        northlanders. This winter was a strange one—hardly any snow in Duluth and the

Midwest. Did that upset you?

ASHLEY

                        Oh yah. Winter is my favorite season because of the snow. This winter was more

                        disappointing than the Viking’s losing streak.

JOCELYN

                        Darn cheese heads stealing our thunder.

SARAH

                        So you didn’t have to wear as much winter gear this year, did ya?

JOCELYN

                        Ohh no. Uff-da, with the weather the way it was, we could’ve all gone swimming

                        in Lake Superior!

SARAH

                        Since you didn’t have to worry about the weather, what did you do to have fun this
                        year?

ASHLEY

                        We went to the cabin, up the shore, to the bar, and to church.

JOCELYN

                        Definitely steer clear of Wisconsin, though. The only reason I ever brave their driving
                       is for apple fest every fall.

SARAH

                        Oh my gosh! I did that too! Well thank you for chatting with us today. There you have
                        it! Even though the weather can be strange, you can always count on the friendly locals
                        to give you the inside scoop. Thanks for watching us today. Back to you, Kate.

Back in the “studio” with KATE

KATE

                        It is no secret that Minnesotans have their own way of living. For example, you                         might be a Minnesotan if... vacation means going to Valleyfair. You find twenty
                       degrees belown zero a "little chilly." Your four seasons are: almost winter,
                       deer season, still winter, and road construction.Now let’s see what a fellow Minnesotan has
                       to say.
