A summer’s night. A beautiful setting at the base of Mt. Ashwabay just outside Bayfield, Wisconsin. Stories, poetry, Blue-ribbon musicians, sing-alongs, humorous sketches, and the News from Lake Wobegon. This is gonna be good!

Join Garrison Keillor and his Prairie Home friends — songbird Heather Masse , sound-effects wizard Fred Newman , music director Richard Dworsky , mandolinist/fiddler Richard Kriehn , guitar ace Dean Magraw , and multi-instrumentalist Joe Savage — for a fun-packed show at Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua.
