You will be welcomed into the Skyrock Carousel building by your host, Bill Nun. He will give you an informative and historical look at the antique dance organs. These beautifully restored musical marvels play the happiest music on earth. Learn about the restoration process of gold leafing, and how one-hundred-year-old art is preserved. The intricate pipes are made and voiced to replicate the sounds of the piccolo, flute, violin, saxophone, and trombone. See a carousel horse collection and learn why the men who carved the ornate figures have a place in history. At 11:30 a.m. we will have a hearty pot roast home cooked meal prepared Minnesota style which includes beverage and dessert.

The fun-loving monks of Saint Bernard’s monastery are in a jam. Abbott Costello and his four beleaguered brethren have just learned that a real-estate developer is about to turn their monastery into a gambling hall called Bernie’s Casino Royale. Unless the merry Men in Brown can raise $250,000 by midnight, they are done for. Luckily, the Brothers have a divine plan. They have rented religious radio station WGOD for the night and are hosting a radiothon fundraiser with plenty of singing, dancing and vaudeville routines. Abbot Costello, Brother Lee Love, Brother Brooks, Brother Clarence and Brother Forte all take turns strutting their stuff, and the pledged donations from the listeners started streaming in. But, unbeknownst to the other four, one of the monks is really a devil in disguise and is out to sabotage their plan. Good and evil race to beat a midnight deadline in this hilarious hit musical.
