Meet the Midthun family, the first of four clans from Minnesota that will be featured on "Family Feud" over the next few weeks.

The local angle is related to auditions in the Twin Cities last April. Those who made the cut were flown out to Atlanta where the episodes were then taped.

The Midthuns -- Ted, Denise, Kristine, Melissa and Angie -- kick things off next Wednesday.

Suggested category: Name a store you'd find in the Mall of America.

"Family Feud," hosted by Steve Harvey, airs episodes at 6 and 6:30 p.m.weekdays on WUCW, Ch. 23.
