Posted
Staff Report-
WABASH – Indiana Public Radio welcomes “An Evening with Garrison Keillor” to the Honeywell Center in Wabash May 20 at 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by Wabash Electric. Keillor shares humorous anecdotes about growing up in the American Midwest, the people of his beloved Lake Wobegon (“the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve”) and late-life fatherhood. Keillor, best known for his hugely popular radio program “A Prairie Home Companion,” went to work for Minnesota Public Radio in 1969, and hosted the first broadcast of the show July 6, 1974. The show ended in 1987, resumed in 1989 in New York as The American Radio Company, returned to Minnesota, and in 1993 resumed the name “A Prairie Home Companion.” Now, 44 years later, more than 3 million listeners on more than 450 public radio stations listen to the show each week. Tickets are $25, $45 and $65, and may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by calling 260-563-1102 or by visiting www.honeywellcenter.org
