North Iowa Community Auditorium event booker Lindsay Dalrymple had a 2020 slate set for the venue, and she was proud of it.
To follow a 2019 season that saw such highs as one of the two living Highwaymen Kris Kristofferson performing, Dalrymple put together an eclectic lineup that would ve included Charleston, South Carolina, band Ranky Tanky which won a Grammy in 2020 for Best Regional Roots Music album. When Dalrymple saw them perform she was blown away. Theyâre the most fun group Iâve ever seen,  Dalrymple said.
