the program, “river city revue,” was hosted by the mississippi river fund, works progress, and the national park service. the evening’s theme was “wicked river.”

Our name on a poster! (aka I am a sucker.)

i also gifted myself with a t-shirt of the mpls skyline (see that “gold medal flour”? that’s how you know what it is) and a poster with the choir’s name listed on it (and it now resides in my cubicle at work).
