Last Stop on the Tour - Red Wing, MN

We left for Red Wing bright and early again, after significant snowfall the night before. The drive was fairly unexciting for us in the truck...that truck can drive through anything! I hear it was a bit more stressful in the van, but all arrived safely. The drive itself is beautiful - much of it is spent driving north along the Mississippi River, with lots of tree-covered hills and even some bald eagles! Of course, I slept through most of it, but from what I was awake to see, it was some gorgeous scenery.

There were lots of "lasts" on this particular day, as you may imagine. Last load-in, last truck ride for me with Bill and Craig, last sound check, last SHOW, last load-out, last night for us all to hang out together... We made the most of it, and had a great time. The snow caused a slightly less full house than we had hoped for, but it certainly looked romantic outside of the theater!

The theater itself, the Sheldon Theater, is VERY similar to the Pabst in Milwaukee. We remarked upon this pretty much as soon as we walked through the door, and apparently there was once a third level to the house, which would have made it even more like the Pabst.

For the third night in a row, the theater provided dinner for the crew... this time, we had some great cheeseburgers and the like from a local eatery.

And our Burger King bobble-head, which has been with us since week 3, go the spot of honor that night, spending the entirety of the show in Doug's ice hole!
