Good morning from Collegeville,
Last evening was my first visit to Sunset Stages at St. Ben’s. The George Maurer Trio plus Rachel Holder put on a great performance in the Darnall Amphitheater on the campus of the College of Saint Benedict. The clouds went away just in time and they stayed away until midnight. Next Wednesday is the final act of the summer series, Monroe Crossing. For tickets go to www.csbsju.edu/finearts If you need a place to eat before the 7:30 event, check out The Local Blend on Minnesota Street across from the church.
The Target Field is well worth the trip. The Trobec Bus picked us up in Clearwater and we arrived in plenty of time to have supper or a hot dog before the game. Section 318 row 12 is a bit on the high side. It took Barby a while to adjust. I would recommend section “T” row 10. They did let me in with a water bottle in my MPR tote bag. The concessions are a bit steep. The game was over in one hour and fifty two minutes and when we got back on the bus, the skies opened up. The Twins beat Chicago 3 to 2. It is well worth the trouble. The Northstar train track goes passed the gate.

The show this week is a mix of shows that were performed over the past few years from the historic State Theater on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. Guests include Jearlyn Steele, Ricky Skaggs, Cowboy Jack Clement and Becky Schlegel. Enjoy the show. Tickets are on sale for the State Fair gig on Friday night September 3.
“Within us all there are wells of thought and dynamos of energy which are not suspected until emergencies arise. Then oftentimes we find that it is comparatively simple to double or treble our former capacities and to amaze ourselves by the results achieved.” Thomas J. Watson
