It’s December 23rd, 1978. Albee Humphrey used to be a household name, but these days his star is fading. He’s got one last shot at his big comeback – with a network televised Christmas special. There’s celebrity guests, variety acts, and there’s even rumors of a reunion with his former comedy partner – who he hasn’t spoken to in 20 years. He’ll be using members of his studio audience as extras, so you may even find yourself getting in on the act! This is his last chance to be a star again.

While many Minnesota gardens are winding down for the winter season, the Sunken Garden at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory will be in full bloom! Opened in October for the 108th Annual Fall Flower Show. The first half of the Fall Show’s inspiration this year is drawn from an underwater environment. Usual ‘spider’ and anemone mums in pink and white pastel colors will be accompanied by large and small succulents plants. There will be green sting ray colcassia, pink, purple and white scabiosa plants, and blue echinops.
The Sunken Garden reopens early November for the second half of the Fall Flower Show which will run through November 26th. The second half of the Fall Show will be a celebration of the Dia de los Muertos. Orange and yellow mums will be accented by bright magenta celosia as well as orange marigolds and multicolored osteospermum.
