A show usually only seen at the State Fair, with appearances by Betty Crocker, Paul Bunyan, and The Dough Boy comes to Richfield. The Minnesota History Center and the State Fair Foundation commissioned this musicale in 2015, and it has been entertaining Minnesota State Fairgoers ever since. Written and directed by longtime Illusion Artistic Associate Beth Gilleland with musical direction by Kevin Dutcher, featuring Bonni Allen, Aimee K. Bryant, Ricky Morisseau, and Jim Robinson. Hear the “Ten Thousand Lake Polka,” watch Betty Crocker host a quiz show with Minnesota icons and listen to Paul Bunyan’s sweetheart Lucette sing “It’s All About Paul.”

Plus, Honeywine is an all-original trio Dorian Chalmers, Becky Schlegel, and Dennis Curley who step on the stage to share their pure, sweet Americana sound.

Note this performance is on Tuesday August 20, rather than on Wednesday
