 It was a weekend full of action with a dangerous Cajun twist. In this week's Northwood's adventure, Josh Peterson takes us to Walker where the Deep South visited the North for some alligator wrestling. Traveled just about anywhere in greater Minnesota and you can find critters of all kinds. But nothing quite like this. The Gator Boys from Florida brought a taste of the South to Walker's Cajun Fest by bringing Minnesotans up close and personal with alligators. Alligators are one of the main things. This whole thing is built around everything, Louisiana, everything Cajun, everything down in the bayou. Fresh off a six season run on Animal Planet, Jimmy Ripple has taken his show on the road. All over the United States providing an education as well as entertainment. We get a lot of people that, you know, they're uneducated on them, they don't know about the animals so that's another thing like I said we travel and we get to educate people and hopefully when they leave they have a little bit more of understanding of these amazing animals and they don't fear them as much as they did before. The Gator Boys show as much more than just alligator wrestling. When the boys roll into town they bring an entire walkthrough experience that's infotainment for kids of all ages. But whether you love or hate reptiles the focus of this show is to expand your horizons. Education, I didn't know that's what it's all about for us, you know, education and giving people that all factor and they get that by getting up close and personal with these animals and you know that's what we like to do. What keeps these show men going is the excitement and energy from the kids in the audience hoping they are inspiring future Gator Boys and girls. It's coming up saying that you know where they're heroes, you know that's what it's about. You know this is something that we live for and this is our dream and we're living it. With the successful three shows for the 2018 Cajun Fest the city of Walker is excited to welcome these boys back to town again next year. Absolutely love Minnesota, love it here and would love to come back and see all of these great people again. With this week's Northwood's adventure in Walker, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. You know we always encourage our reporters to get involved in the stories. Just a little disappointed Josh didn't get in and do any alligator wrestling. Alligators seem very gregarious, they didn't seem very agitated or anything. I would have been glad to have the fence between us I think.
