Summary:
An escaped monkey bit two people at the Winona County fairgrounds. Five monkeys from the Staples Safari Zoo and Animal Rescue escaped when two boys pried open their locked trailer door. Four monkeys were quickly recaptured, but the fifth fled, and bit when cornered. People who caught the monkey and were bitten received rabies shots while the monkey was placed in quarantine.
