Good Morning from Collegeville,
It is so hard to believe that July is almost over. So much to do and so little time. The Yukon Gold potatoes and the green beans are wonderful. There are going to be tons of cucumbers. My granddaughter Chrissy and her friend Riley have been helping with the weeding since I still have not been able to crank up the tiller. I took them to the Pine Grove Zoo in Little Falls as a treat. It is a very clean zoo with enough diversity to make it interesting. The bear cubs seemed to be the favorite.
This weekend, the River Song Music festival is Hutchinson. It takes place at the Masonic West River Park today and tomorrow. Check it out at www.riversongfestival.org
Congratulations to MPR on making (literally ‘making’!) the top 10 lists for Vita.mn! The Current was selected as the Best Radio Station and the 6 top Favorite Disc Jockeys are all from The Current. They even created a category for MPR, “Favorite Shows on MPR” Here are some highlights: http://www.vita.mn/story.php?id=98854719
The show this week is a mix of the two January shows from the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Special guests include Sara Watkins, Andy Stein, Frederica Von Stade and bluesman Elvin Bishop singing “What the Hell is Going On.”
Save the Date: The Annual Season Opening Gala Fundraiser for the Paramount Theater & Visual Arts Center in downtown Saint Cloud is Saturday October 2nd. The Fabulous Armadillos featuring Alex Ligertwood from Santana are the attraction. Tickets are available at the box office or www.paramountarts.org
Also, check out the gift shop at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library here on the Saint John’s campus. They also have a display of the Saint John’s Bible. One of the items that “smiled at me” was a hand crafted wood barreled fountain pen for only $40.
