Good afternoon from Collegeville,
The 30th annual Osberg/Hagstrom Golf Open is this Saturday at the Little Falls Country Club. My mother’s sister, Leone, Auntie to me, married Duane Hagstrom, owner of Hagstrom Chevrolet in Upsala, Minnesota. Between the two sisters there are 10 of us children. Auntie’s youngest, Kevin, is a very good golfer and for many years he and I won the best ball event every year. There was a time when you had to use at least one drive and one putt for each of the team members. Now there are no such rules. There is a traveling trophy with the names of the winning team engraved on a brass plate. Kevin and I are due. It has been a while. Last year my sister’s husband Duaine led his team to victory. After golf we gather at my brother Bill’s house for a picnic and the award ceremony. We are fortunate to have a number of traditions in our family. I trust that your Fourth of July Celebration will be a safe one.
Comedians Shannan Paul and Mary Mack are at the Sunset Stages event tonight at 7:30 on the College of St. Benedict campus. Bring your lawn chairs and come early. I will have a table at this event also. Next week Robert Robinson, the gospel singer, will be the entertainment. This is a free event thanks to Gustavo Pena, D.J. Bitzan Jewelers, Collegeville Community Credit Union, and MPR. See you there.
The APHC show this week is a live broadcast from where it all began, Macalester College in Saint Paul. There will be great American music from JD McPherson, rock-solid rambles from Joe Newberry and roof raising soul music from Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele. Butch Thompson adds his quintessential piano and clarinet, Tjarnblom rounds things out with a celebration of Minnesota’s Scandinavian heritage. The Macalester College Pipe Band brings some Celtic spirit to the event. The usual gang of characters and the band, under the direction of Richard Dworsky, will light up the evening. Garrison will bring us all up to date on the News From Lake Wobegon. Enjoy the show.
