This week: Mustaches, poetry and hockey, hockey and more hockey
By Paul Lundgren on Feb 27, 2012 in Events
March Madness is nearly upon us, as the East Greyhounds, Marshall Hilltoppers and Hermantown Hawks boys hockey teams all battle this week for trips to the state tournament. Marshall plays Hibbing-Chisholm on Wednesday, East plays Andover on Thursday, and Hermantown plays Rogers on Friday.
In college women’s hockey, the UMD Bulldogs are in the WCHA Final Face-off at Amsoil Arena. They face the Wisconsin Badgers on Friday for the chance to play in the WCHA National Championship Game on Saturday.
In a weirder athletic endeavor, the Mustache March Run happens on Saturday. If you don’t know what that means, well, it’s really no more complicated than a bunch of people with mustaches (real and artificial) running on the Lakewalk. There will also be an after-race party at Pizza Luce featuring the Black-eyed Snakes.
Also Saturday, the Spirit Lake Poetry Series brings Todd Boss and Matt Rasmussen to Somers Lounge at the College of St. Scholastica. Rescheduled for March 24.
There are over 400 events in the PDD Calendar, and we fully expect you to take part in at least 350 of them, so study up.
And let’s not forget …
Sorry, Spirit Lake had to reschedule the reading to the 24th
Saturday, March 24th – 7:30 pm – Todd Boss and Matt Rasmussen – Somers Lounge/St. Scholastica
Ken Marunowski will be having a show of paintings from France and South Africa at Chester Creek Books and Antiques (14th & Superior, across from Alakef in the big church on the corner of street) from March 2 -- 23rd.
The opening is this Friday, March 2nd, from 6 -- 8 p.m.
Don’t miss Taming of the Shrew! My daughter, Rachel, is starring in it, she plays a servant and has three lines and totally steals the show.
