The Twin Cities Catholic Chorale has recently published its 2008-09 season schedule of Masses with full orchestral accompaniment, to take place at the Church of Saint Agnes, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Chorale is joined by a professional chamber orchestra which includes former and present members of the Minnesota Orchestra and area freelance musicians [all instrumentalists are members of The Twin Cities Musicians Union, Local 30-73, American Federation of Musicians].
This fall, the Chorale begins its thirty-fifth season of presenting glorious sacred music in the Twin Cities.
Here's the schedule (through December 31, 2008) of Latin Masses with orchestral accompaniment. Mass performance times are at 10:00 A.M. Sundays, unless indicated otherwise below:
The Church of Saint Agnes is located at 548 LaFond Avenue, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, about one mile west of the Minnesota State Capitol building.
Today and tomorrow, August 9-10, the annual Long Lake "Corn Days" celebration will take place in Long Lake, Minnesota.
"Corn Days" is a two-day festival of food, arts, crafts and family activities in Long Lake, just a few minutes west of Wayzata, Minnesota. This year's Corn Days festival takes place at the Church of Saint George, at 133 North Brown Road.
Events at this year's celebration will include entertainment by local bands, including "The Teddy Bear Band & Panda", "Absolute Gruv", "Stray Voltage", "Locklin Road" and "Fire Ants". Saturday events include a silent auction, Bingo, pony rides and a spaghetti dinner. There'll be a Sunday pancake breakfast at Saint George's, followed by a parade sponsored by the Long Lake Chamber of Commerce. There will also be a four-mile "fun run" (sponsored by Gear West) and a 4:45 p.m. Super Raffle.
This weekend the weather promises to be superb, so take the family and head out to Long Lake for an old-fashioned town celebration!
The annual COPA (Cirrus Owners & Pilots Association) Migration is the most-attended event of the year for those who own and operate Cirrus aircraft.
This year's Migration "Fly-in" will be held in Duluth, Minnesota at the Duluth airport. And best of all, you don't have to be a Cirrus owner to attend!
The event will feature factory tours, seminars with featured speakers and trade show exhibits. For pilots who register early, there will be free "rust removal" flights (space available on a first come, first served basis). This program pairs Cirrus instructors with pilots and provides the opportunity to practice takeoffs, landings, stalls, IFR techniques and just about anything else a pilot may wish to brush up on! And for non-fliers, there will be seminars on video presentations on exotic destinations visited by Cirrus owners.
The annual Migration tends to attract Cirrus aircraft owners from all over the world (including more than a few celebrity owners). You'll meet interesting people at the COPA social events, including the opening COPA Cabana party at the delightful Inn on Lake Superior on July 10 and the Friday night Social at the Great Lakes Aquarium. There will also be a closing night banquet at the DECC (Duluth Entertainment & Convention Center).
Special lodging rates have been arranged for attendees at Fitger's Inn and the Canal Park Lodge in Duluth. While you're in town, take in a concert event at the DECC, visit the Duluth Railroad Museum or have dinner at Midi Restaurant in Fitger's lower level. You may even want to set aside a day or two for the trip east to Madeline Island and Bayfield, Wisconsin!

Duluth, Minnesota is the home of Cirrus Design, a corporation that manufactures the popular Cirrus SR Series of private aviation aircraft.
The Cirrus aircraft is best known for its CAPS (Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System), which is a ballistic parachute system that is capable of returning the aircraft safely to the ground in an emergency situation. Cirrus pioneered the system in the mid-1980s.
In addition to its unique parachute system, Cirrus aircraft offer other innovative features not found elsewhere. The Cirrus uses no retractable landing gear system, unlike other similar aircraft. Retractable landing gear failures are common and the Cirrus has eliminated that problem. Cirrus aircraft are all electric and no vacuum systems are employed.
Cirrus has recently released its new private jet aircraft, with a futuristic design and remarkably comfortable cockpit that many private pilots agree is perhaps the best available today. The company has received around four hundred orders for the new jet, which is priced at just under one million dollars per aircraft.
[Take a look at the Cirrus jet website http://www.the-jet.com/infobase.html and you'll be hooked! It only takes $100,000 to reserve one of these..]
The presence of Cirrus Design in Duluth has been a boon to the city and to Saint Louis County. The company employs around 900 workers in the Duluth area and plans to expand, adding one hundred jobs by 2011 and another hundred by 2014. The company also employs about 375 workers in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Cirrus is currently the second largest manufacturer of single-engine, general aviation aircraft in the world, behind Cessna.

Crave Restaurant in Edina, Minnesota is featuring live Jazz every Friday evening, at 8:30 p.m.
You'll see Jazz pianist Laura Caviani, with guest artists like Debbie Duncan, Patty Peterson and Dorothy Doring performing live at the popular Edina nightclub.
The Laura Caviani Trio has maintained a weekly presence at Crave since the beginning of the year. In February, I saw the Trio (Laura Caviani on keyboard, Tom Lewis on bass and Phil Hey on drums) at Crave with blues stylist Debbie Duncan. Debbie and the Trio delivered their usual powerhouse performance of jazz and blues tunes, including "Blame it on My Youth", "Blue Skies", "Our Love is Here to Stay", "I'm Beginning to See the Light" and "If I Were a Bell, I'd be Ringing (sung by guest vocalist Nancy Harms).
Crave is a little crowded on Friday nights, so I'd call for a reservation and get there early. The best seating for enjoying the Jazz is at the bar, closest to the musicians.
The food at Crave is good, but what really makes the place, in my opinion, is the Jazz!

I look forward to us working together on another house."
