This week: farewell lifeguards and hello football

Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.

Happy Labor Day! Celebrate work by taking a day off of work. Today may be the unofficial end of summer, but it’s the official end of beach house season. No more lifeguards on duty on Park Point until next year.

Buzzed Up Spelling Bee is a new Tuesday night event at Red Star hosted by a variety of local celebs, because watching drunk people spell is funny.

Two new shows open on Thursday. Collected Stories, a two woman show starring Julie Ahasay and Sarah Ruth Diener, is at The Underground. Thom Pain (Based on Nothing), a one man show featuring John Pokrzywinski, is at the Teatro Zuccone and runs through Sunday. 

Friday marks the beginning of high school football with the Denfeld Hunters taking on the Chisago Lakes Wildcats at the Public Schools Stadium and the East Greyhounds hosting the Cambridge-Isanti Bluejackets at Ordean Stadium.

The Lake Superior Harvest Festival is a celebration of locally produced food. It’s at Bayfront this Saturday.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know.

We have one unclaimed prize from PDDX that I'm putting out there for anyone paying attention to comments on Labor Day to claim:

Two tickets to Greensky Bluegrass at Big Top Chautauqua on Friday, Sept. 13, go to the first person to e-mail paul @ perfectduluthday.com and request them.

And, as usual, the PDD Gimmick Canopy will be up at Chester Bowl Fall Fest on Saturday, Sept. 21, where you can win more fabulous and slightly-less-than fabulous prizes.

Speaking of spelling bees and prizes:  when I was in the sixth grade, I won our school spelling bee.  My mom made me a blue/purple/pink, groovy yet patriotic (this was 1976) afghan, which is in my office as we speak.

The point is clear:  Paul, you must knit us an afghan for whomever wins the drunken spelling bee noted above.  Also, providing us one to hang from the PDD booth at Chester Bowl's Fall Fest would be very thoughtful of you.
