The Man is coming back! We are hosting a talent show - we're calling it Rock the Rafters because that is what we expect to do - this Sunday July 26 at The Club and it is being emceed by Garrison Keillor, one of the owners of The Club. Fresh off the end of his Prairie Home Companion season, Keillor energized the area and about 10,000 of us with a remarkble 4th of July celebration in Avon. He's coming back to enjoy a smaller venue at The Club.

The Club opens at 4:00 Sunday, and the show will begin at 7:00 p.m.

 We have a tremendous line-up of area artists, thanks to local musicians Dee Holsinger and Doug Millaway. You'l hear from Pachanga (a Stearns County South American and Cuban music group) to fiddler Alisha Neuman to Sinatra sound-alike Alex Willard plus 14 other artists/group.

Word barely got out about the event and we sold out of reservations for dinner. We do have some tables on the lakeside deck that we will keep open for walk-ins, so if you were unable to get an inside reservation you could try for an outside deck table. While the sight lines won't be ideal, we will have speakers out there for good sound projection.

Our many thanks in advance to Doug and Dee for all their work, and to the Avon Area Arts for once again providing not just muscle but brain strength to bring fine music to the area.

We hope you can join us!
