About 2,000 AFSCME members followed the governor on the fairgrounds Wednesday, booing and shouting taunts as they paraded on the grounds.

The governor stopped by the Ag Commodities Pavilion for a pork chop and was immediately surrounded by protestors who continued shouting "Fair Contract" and and "Unfair" at the top of their voices.

Later at the Democrat Day rally, the celebration was cut short by the protesters who shouted down speakers on the stage.
