House Concert with Claudia Schmidt, singer
the home of Ron Germundson and Becky Pansch
629 Hillwood Court, St. Paul, MN 55119

Here are notes from Ron and Becky: Here’s how our house concerts work: We pass a hat, and whatever goes in it goes to the musicians (we suggest $15 per person or more…) You are invited to bring something to share for the community snack table. Ron and I provide non-alcoholic punch or apple cider, hot tea, etc. (If you want to bring something else to drink, you are welcome to…wine,beer ok) There will usually be an art boutique with lovely things for you to consider. This is a kid friendly event (as long as your kid is friendly, of course!) Bring friends…they’re all welcome. You don’t need to RSVP…just come!
