Shock illusionist brings his work home to west central Minnesota 
In searching out entertainment for a Watercade fundraiser, organizers decided to go with one of their own.
Shock illusionist Dan Sperry — a 2003 graduate of Litchfield High School — will take the stage tonight at Bernie Aaker Auditorium, 114 N. Holcombe Ave., in Litchfield. Show time is 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the door, based on availability. All proceeds go toward the general fund for financing the city’s summer Watercade festival July 7-10, 2011.
