We started the day at the restored Fargo Theatre, which houses a fabulous restored Mighty Wurlitzer organ. A gentleman who is involved in making and fixing these organs treated us to a concert--rising from below the stage on a lift as he played to display an organ with 4 tiers of keyboard and at least 50 buttons--and information about the organ. The executive director then told us about the theatre, which had a varied history but is currently thriving and recently built a second, smaller theatre in an adjacent building so they could both have movies and other arts programming.
After Sarah's keynote (more on that later), we went to Trollwood, a new arts school campus on the Minnesota side of the border. The gorgeous amphitheatre served as the venue for a ground session with the artist Spirit that included call and response singing and movement in the fresh, warm air. During it we looked at the woods and saw deer and other wildlife. We concluded the morning with more Manager Minutes (more on those later, too!).
