Garrison Keillor at Ravinia

I suppose I am working my way backwards here and am detailing the weekend events in reverse.

Saturday afternoon, Jed and I took a very crowded Metra out to Ravinia for the Garrison Keillor 'concert.' Although it is not a concert persay, it still felt like a big event for one and all to listen to, thus my reasoning behind the concert-ness of naming this event.

Cicadas were in full bloom in the trees, but they seemed to not be as present in and on the ground that we sat, ate, and rolled around in for the evening.

Our Ravinia Table in a Bag was put to good use, and so were several pieces of our camping gear. We felt really classy.



We sat with the Wallgren family and had loads of fun listening to Garrison Keillor and spending time with one another. I particularly found all of Gwen's different hairstyles quite amusing.

It was cool that even when he does a show away from Minnesota, his trademark house is at every event.
