In this “experimental” installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, it’s Fishing on the Radio as Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack takes us to the shores of the Mississippi River for Governor Dayton’s 2017 Fishing Opener, which took place for the first time in its 70 year existence in St. Cloud on May 13, 2017.
This isn’t your typical Untold Story, however, because as everyone knows, when it comes to fishing there is a more meditative depth to the sport that is often thrust upon the angler. This Untold Story today is all about exploring that lucid patience fishing requires as both an honor to the Fishing Opener and homage to the new and incredibly popular Norwegian trend called Slow TV.
In today’s installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack takes us out to Anton’s Restaurant to catch a dinner theater performance filled with rum balls, puns, and catchy music. It’s a new tradition at one of the oldest businesses in central Minnesota, and one that Deer Camp writer Gene Jurek has seen grow over the past couple of years. Jay Ramos, Della Strand, Pat Curto, and Darwin Howe join Gene as they talk with Jeff about performing in an old speakeasy on the banks of the Sauk River with the ever present aroma of popovers and walleye!
