Good foggy morning from Collegeville,
‘Deuces Wild’ , Ted and Dave with their dueling pianos, are amazing. Last night was the final Sunset Stages event and even though it had to be moved indoors, it was a huge hit. They packed the Escher Auditorium with folks from ages 1 to 99. I have seen them once before in a night club setting, but they do have a family friendly performance also. If you did not get to any of the Sunset Stages events, check out the Sartell events at csbsju.edu/wow.
