Live from Plymouth

I've been designated the Trivia Queen for this year's News on Tour. For the Plymouth stop, two groups of teenagers competed for prizes. In typical teen fashion, the kicker of the entire segment came when I asked one team how prepared they were for the event.

(fyi....Music in Plymouth is a pretty classy event. People start staking out their spots in the bandshell area days in advance. The night starts with lesser known concert bands, salsa bands, african drummers, etc, but ends with the Minnesota Orchestra and a bang...as in a pretty impressive fireworks show.)

Anyway, the team claimed to be prepared...howso? They bought a watermelon. That's it. No blankets to sit on, no chairs, no knife to cut the watermelon. Just the watermelon.

And they named him Wilson.
