The popular show was brought to town by KRCC, Colorado College\u2019s NPR-member station. Keillor composed a poem in which he described some of Colorado Springs\u2019s highlights. including the fact that Katherine Lee Bates wrote \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d here (although he neglected to mention she was teaching at CC at the time). He also wove CC, the Block Plan, CC\u2019s small class size, and the Tigers into his highly creative and original verse.<\/p>\n

“Getting \u2018A Prairie Home Companion\u2019 to Colorado Springs has been a project for KRCC Program Director Jeff Bieri for the past two years,\u201d said Delaney Utterback, KRCC\u2019s station manager. \u201cWe couldn’t be happier with Garrison\u2019s mention of Colorado College. We had 4,300 people attend the event, and the show was a massive success,\u201d he said. Missed it? Listen to the full program on\u00a0KRCC.org<\/a> or just the CC snippets below:<\/p>\n
