I must admit I have been tardy with my blogs but I have a good excuse, my wife is with me as she is selling merchandise on the tour. My wife and I try to do as much as we can on the tour to maximize our experiences. We are in Huron, SD right now. This tour has introduced us to many great local places to eat. Sarah (my wife) and I have been avoiding fast food to search out the best in local dining. We are rarely disappointed.
I am part of the advance crew to load in and load out the venues and we have been shaving time off of our work each day. Everyone has small jobs to do and they jive always at the correct time. We have formed many lifelong friendships with our work.
Another great thing about the tour is the many venues that have so much history within their walls. In Milbank, SD the walls were filled with the pictures of past graduating classes. The earliest was 1902! There have been some schools still in use that were built in the 1920's.
A couple of days ago Sarah and I went to downtown Austin, MN and have some of the best BBQ at "Piggy Blues BBQ". If you ever get to Austin check it out along with the "Paramount" movie house built in 1929 that has been restored to the way it looked opening day. We just walked in off the street and were given a private tour.
Well, I have to leave now to set up the band for our Huron concert, more to come.
