Changing Seasons

The 8th Annual Duluth Senior Expo was a tremendous success! We had a sold out exhibit hall and by all accounts an increase of about 15% in total attendance from 2009! New this year was a performance by old rock favorites Sh-Boom and a fashion show by Coldwater Creek!
Planning is well under way for next years 9th Annual Show.

The Engwall's Corn Maze has been a success beyond imagination. It was a real "hoot" (as Rod would say) working with Engwalls owner Rod Saline and Deb Paaso from LP on this project. It was a great feeling to present Northern Lakes Food Bank with a cash donation that will provide over 20,000 meals for hungry Northlanders this winter. It's so rewarding to present a fun and successful production and to be able to help those that need help at the same time.

Music Music Music.....speaking of annual activities, work is nearly completed on "A Christmas by the Lake-Volume IV." The response this year was overwhelming as we had a record number of songs submitted for the CD! After almost wearing my Bose headphones out I've come up with 21 songs that I think give a pretty good snapshot of our regional talent. From Silver Bells to Silent Night and Santa Baby - there are some pretty awesome performances. The CD Release Party is Thursday November 18th from 6PM to 8:30PM at the Greysolon Plaza Moorish Room. ALL proceeds from the sale of the CD goes to the Northern Lights Foundation, an organization that helps families of children with life threatening illnesses throughout the region. What a wonderful and noble cause.

More Music......The ShowPro Booking Agency Returns! We are working with a great band LAKE CITY (formerly the Lake City Smokin' Section) and also developing some great young high school talent from ROCK THE MALL! This project is particularly exciting as I'm working with entertainment industry veteran Rose Hoene and my oldest son Tylar Lundeen!

The 23rd Annual Duluth Bridal Show is Saturday January 8th! Lots of fresh info at duluthbridalshow.com. More on that next blog.

Tune in to Talk of the Town on KOOL 101.7 every Saturday morning at 7AM. We're having a lot of fun and presenting some pretty interesting people to Northland listeners.
