opening night

The Topsy Turvy Television Follies 2 opened last night to a very enthusiastic audience.  Everything went off without a hitch delighting everyone involved.  Tonight will be another fantastic performance at St. Cecilia Theater on the campus of Cotter High School in Winona.  Show starts at 7:30 and tickets can be purchased at the door.  Seating begins at 7:00.  Saturday there will be two performances; 2:00 matinee and at 7:30 pm.  We also will have a Sunday matinee at 2:00.  We're hoping to raise enough money for the Winona Health Auxiliary to purchase "sleeper" chairs for those that have to stay in a hospital room with their loved one overnight.  see a great show

Madison WI is looking to join Olympia WA, Eugene OR, and Portland OR in building tiny houses for their homeless population.  It's just 99 square feet but it provides a bed, table, storage area, and compostable toilet.  There's no running water and no electricity but it's insulated and has a propane heater to protect the home owners from the cold winters.  tiny living quarters
