The origin
The year is 1998. Young Mitchell man was playing a rousing round of "Where In The World is Carmen San Diego?" and finished his lesson early. So he got a little curious and started googling his name. That's when he found it - Mitchell, South Dakota. Right then and there, he swore to visit. Somehow, someway, some day.
The day is in Sept.
The how is by plane.
The way is for the 11th annual awards show he made up to show his friends appreciation and affection.
