"Big Brother" has got nothing on the gang at 107.1 FM. Colleen Kruse, Jason Matheson and Lori&Julia are among the talent participating in "Project Down and Dirty," which will take place during the first three days of the Minnesota State Fair. All nine weekday show hosts will ive dogether in an RV, stepping outside to do their respective shows. Daily contests for personal luxury items will be included and participants will be docked for bad behavior.

Teams will be judged by how much social media they can generate to raise money for charities, which include the Ronald McDonald House, the Alzheimer's Association, Faith's Lodge and Tubman.
