Bill Kenzie is back at a new venue, the Howard Conn Fine Arts Center in Minneapolis, and I’m excited! Bill always serves a great lunch and really fun shows! We’ll begin with an included buffet lunch of sliced smoked turkey with gravy, sliced country ham with bourbon sauce, roasted red baby potatoes with rosemary garlic, Tuscan vegetable medley, raspberry vinaigrette salad with blueberries, strawberries and mandarin oranges, homemade dinner rolls with butter, assorted dessert bars, coffee, tea and water. Then it’s time for Simon Williams’ Nobody’s Perfect. The women’s publishing house called Love Is All Around is inviting new writers to submit a manuscript into a competition. Leonard is thrilled when he hears his manuscript has won the top prize, but equally disappointed to hear it can only be awarded in person to a female. To avoid forfeiting the prize, Leonard’s alter ego Lulabelle Latifa is born - and the real craziness begins! Think “Some Like It Hot”, “Tootsie”, and “Mrs. Doubtfire” - a classic romantic comedy with a twist that has belly laughs galore. Wednesday June 10th, 2026 Please be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time listed below. Waconia 11am - 4pm Winsted 10am - 5pm
