A FOURTH OF JULY INVITATION FROM GARRISON KEILLOR Celebrate the 35th Anniversary of PHC, and the Fourth of July with a FREE live show in Avon, MN. “Stearns County is about as close to Lake Wobegon as you can get so it’s where we plan to observe the 35th anniversary of A Prairie Home Companion — in the town of Avon, which is on the Lake Wobegon Bike Trail, broadcasting live coast to coast and overseas via Armed Forces Radio — a brass band, speeches, acoustic blues and rock n roll, some reminiscences by old-timers, and the whole big crowd singing the national anthem, and our sound-effects man will make rockets go up in the air. I’ve biked the Bike Trail a couple of times and love the ordinary beauty of farmland and meadow and the towns along it. And since the radio show had its origins there, in the stories I heard when I lived near Freeport and hung around St. John’s, it’s only right to return and say hello. ” -Garrison Keillor
