Well, NOW, Sherburne County also hinted at a possible comeback too.

They posted a meme of Bernie Sanders sitting in a chair with his iconic jacket and gloves on during the 2021 presidential inauguration. The caption of the meme reads, "Bernie's waiting in line to get tickets to the 2021 fair!"

We couldn't resist!!
