Join the fun at The Lost Walleye Lodge up north at the lake, where proprietors Ed and Lucy Humde and friends put on language lessons for their guests. You'll have a ton of laughs learning the art of living and talking Minnesotan, even if you've lived in Minnesota all your life. The music is by Drew Jansen, with lyrics by Drew Jansen and Howard Mohr.
