Fall is upon us. The days are getting shorter and football is back. The Tommies are coming to St. John’s tomorrow, so it will be a little rowdy in St. Joe on Saturday night. Sunday morning there will be a service for Jacob Wetterling at the College of St. Benedict followed by the Millstream Arts Festival in downtown St. Joseph, which runs from 11 until 5. I hope that the weather clears up.

The APHC show is another fall rebroadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota, this one originally from October 2009. The boys of Wilco stop by to play “One By One” and “Passenger Side” and add a touch of rock’n’roll to the corner of Exchange and Wabasha, and a blast of bluegrass from singer Patty Loveless, including “The Bramble and the Rose” and “Prisoner’s Tears.” Plus: the Royal Academy of Radio Actors with a message from Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie featuring the revolutionary Thermal Thong, Dusty and Lefty head out of Minnesota just before winter descends, and Rich Dworsky and The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band play “Rockin’ Past Bedtime.” In Lake Wobegon, the host recalls an autumn morning that changed him forever.

The Outdoor Report TV show on Fox Sports North and Fox Sports Wisconsin will air the final episode of the season tomorrow at 8:30 am. There will be a look back at some of the best stories of the season and a special “Savory Goodness” segment. My son Erik has done a marvelous job and it has been a real treat to watch my grandson “Walleye Willie” shine. You can watch all of shows on www.theoutdoorreport.com
