'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Last night was the Junior-Senior Prom and the last of the four programs of the Lutheran Lyceum. This included the Lundeen's Gospel Birds, the Five Tumbling Pastors, Wally Holmberg, the World's Tiniest Evangelist, and the Lutheran Flamenco Concert. The Madrid Lutheran Church dates back to when a Norwegian ship was wrecked on the coast of Spain. GK did not go to the program. Daryl Tolerude poured concrete all day and he was too tired to go. Their son, Eric, went to the prom in his tuxedo. His group, the Shadows is going to sing at the prom. A bunch of Norwegian Bachelor Farmers helped with Daryl's barn raising and Marilyn had to feed them lunch. Clarence Bunsen did not go because his slow talking cousin, Harold, stood around for 45 minutes until it was too late. Bud and Eloise could not go because the gymnasium was flooded. The Tollefsens could not go because a ladder fell on Marilyn. The Passionara de la Nortenia was a great show. LW is wonderful on a summer night. Blessed be the tie that binds. Norwegian Bachelor Farmer story about huge underground pigs.
