Grimm End: Chapter 6
For most of the year, the fairgrounds in Wakina, Minnesota stood empty and forgotten, except for sleigh rides in December and three days in May.

Thomas found Daniel eating cheese curds by the First Lutheran Church food booth. Sara was talking on her phone nearby. She was wearing her Wakina Lions baseball hat and jacket. She had been the first girl to earn a place as pitcher on the boys baseball team for their high school team.
