Garrison Keillor is the most skilled humorist since Mark Twain. He wrote and managed the weekly Prairie Home Companion show for four decades, and a lifetime set of lighthearted books. In retirement, he is doing only what he loves best -- making people laugh and writing. A happy man. He offered to come to Menomonie to do a benefit performance -- we swiftly accepted.
