CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT
2 p.m. Though the sweet drinks and dessert were extremely satisfying, the 605 crew was ready for lunch. What better way to order a little bit of everything than going to Cubby’s Sports Bar & Grill downtown? We all ordered their famous Bloody Mary with our preferred sidecars, and started with some Chislic and Stadium Nachos . After ordering a bunch of other items to share, we ventured up to the rooftop patio to take in the views of Main Avenue. 3:30 p.m. Hightailing it out of the restaurant with full bellies, we headed across the street to Kool Beans Coffee and Roasterie to meet local artist Chuck Bennis of Bennis Art Studios , where he was enjoying a beverage. After a brief chat, we ventured around downtown to see a few of his large-scale murals, including works of art in alleyways and inside of the Brookings Public Library . 4:30 p.m. Wishing we had more time, our rooms were ready at the Garner Hotel Brookings by IHG . Formerly the Holiday Inn Express & Suites , the rebrand also came with upgraded accommodations, amenities, and décor. 6 p.m. With just enough time to get settled in and unpack, 605 hopped back into Vincent Van-Go to The Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center to catch Prairie Repertory Theatre’s performance of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers . All of the actors were working the entire event in costume, from handing out programs to seating guests, ready to hit the stage.
