It's day seven of the Minnesota State Fair and a lot of fairgoers are finding it's tough to get there.

And on Wednesday, six people are expected to finish a frigid swim in Lake Superior. The goal was to swim nearly 50 miles from Split Rock Lighthouse to Duluth — without wetsuits. This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.
