CASDA New Year's Eve Party
This happens Tuesday, Dec. 29. I may also be joined in studio or by phone from special guests. We’ll see what happens…
Does anyone feel like throwing snowballs around 1 at Lake and Superior today? Just don’t bring any guns.
Forecasters are calling for some big time Christmas Eve snow so this could be a classic opportunity to snowshoe downtown, get a great meal, celebrate the original meaning of Christmas and maybe even walk away with a gift or two for the kiddies. My favorite part? After years of being part of all kinds of spiritual traditions around the world, finally at this party I see people of all shapes, stripes and shades joining together as one. That is truly a beautiful very Duluthy thing for me and I’d love to see some of my PDD pals there, too.
In any event, Merry Christmas, folks.
