Good morning from Collegeville,

Today is the first day of spring. Signs of spring are not very apparent. I have not seen a robin yet. The tulips are barely sticking out of the ground. The ice is still on the lakes around campus, but hope springs eternal. Rhubarb can’t be far behind.

There are plans in the works to bring back the Fisher’s Club in Avon. A couple of young men, Cory and Jacob Voss, grew up in the area and they are working hard to make it happen, soon. Fisher’s is famous for their walleye and Bee Bop A Ree Bop Rhubarb pie. Fisher’s was a bottle club, a place where you could bring your own bottle of booze and then purchase “set-ups” to mix your own. They did serve wine and beer. There are lockers on the walls with the names of the club members. For many years a club member could leave their bottle in the locker, thus not having to carry it with them. I hope that in the remodeling that they leave the lockers there. That practice was not approved the last time that Fisher’s was brought to life. This time they might go with a full bar.

There are plans to offer memberships in the “Fisher’s 2015 Founders Club” starting at the $500 level. If you are interested send an email to [email protected]

The APHC show this week is a rebroadcast of a show from The Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington. Brandi Carlile sings “The Story” and the Wailin’ Jennys perform “Bird Song”. The usual cast of characters will perform a number of skits and Richard Dworsky will lead the band. In The News From Lake Wobegon, Lyle Janske runs the high school basketball concessions stand to take his mind off his son’s illness. Enjoy the show.
