Green Eggs and Cubes
Press photo by Eric Braem Cordell Melgaard practices his talent Tuesday evening for the Steele County Fair Talent Show. Melgaard entered the open class of the annual talent show with his talent of solving his Rubik’s Cube while standing on one foot and reciting “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss — all in three minutes.
The Owatonna People's Press interviewed me recently for my apparent "talent". Here is a snippet of the article. A Big THANKS to Becky Moore and everyone at the People's Press.
Finding Talent in a Cube
Story by Becky Moore
By opening day of the Steele County Free Fair, Cordell Melgaard still didn't know what pair of shoes he was going to wear to his debut at the Steele County Free Fair Talent Show.
"I haven't factored in the wind yet either," he said.
Why would any of this matter?
Because Melgaard is putting a new spin on talent this year. For the annual talent show, Melgaard plans to solve the Rubik's Cube in three minutes, while standing on one foot and reciting Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham."

- Originality = 10 (Out of 10)
- Goal = 10 (Task completed on time)
- Mistake Free = 9 (You dropped it)
- Appropriate Length = 8
- Demonstrates Stage Presence - Voice faded in and out, sometimes stalling for a few seconds.
- Involves Original material - 9. Cube = nope, Story = nope, One legged = nope, all of them together? Yes.
Overall a great job, better than I could have ever done.
Goal for next year - Engage the audience more, make it more interactive, start out big and build from there.
Hahaha!!! Hope you got the reaction that you wanted from your fans. That was talent if I ever saw it.
how cool... I think I bought you most of the Suess books when you were little. I don't know why I didn' see this before!
