UPDATE: I purchased my copy of the 20th Anniversary Sampler CD. The CD was nearly entirely sold out by 11 a.m. this morning (Nov. 20). That’s $1 million to Minnesota charities. Congrats to Cities 97.
Next poll. The
20th Anniversary edition of the Cities 97 Sampler CD (which will be a two CD set) goes on sale Nov. 20 at Target stores in the Twin Cities.
So, which song on this year’s Sampler CDs are you most looking forward to hearing?
