Good morning from Collegeville,

Twenty years ago Monday, the Twin Cities metro area experienced the Halloween Blizzard. Trick-or-treaters were greeted with about 8 inches of snow and over a three day period the storm dropped 28 inches of snow on the Twin Cities. Duluth received 36.9 inches of snow, the largest single storm total in Minnesota history. The highways were full of icy ruts for months. This year we should have daytime temps in the fifties and Monday night should be a nice night for those who go out to fill their candy buckets.

The horse radish has been harvested and the garden in St. Joe has been prepared for the winter rest. I am already looking forward to receiving the seed catalog form Comstock Seeds, located in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Last year they celebrated 200 years of growing and harvesting seeds. The current owners are Jere and Emilee Gettle. More is available at www.comstockferre.com

The show this week is live from the Colorado Springs World Arena. Special guests include cowgirl singer Stephanie Davis, Appalachian relations Robin and Linda Williams and the spirited swing band “The Haunted Windchimes”.
Enjoy the show.

Let me know if you are interested in branding or marketing on public radio. We are introducing a new online ad in January.
