PHOTOS: Barack Obama Visits Hannah's Bend Park in Cannon Falls

The buzz had been building for hours before President Barack Obama showed up Monday morning to Hannah's Bend Park in Cannon Falls.

Then his motorcade showed up.

Obama's bus was seen between trees and a line of school busses—some from Northfield's very own —and people knew that the Leader of the Free World was only a frisbee toss away.

About 20 minutes passed as people stood and occasionally applauded. Every few minutes more staffers made their way down to the park where hundreds of ticket holders, volunteers and media waited.

Finally, sans a coat and tie, Obama lightly jogged to the path to get to the park and made his way down to hundreds of supporters shouting with approval.

"Hello, Cannon Falls! Hello, Minnesota! Well, what a spectacular setting. Let’s get the grill going," Obama joked with the crowd.
