It's been a difficult season for Trollwood thus far. 50-mph wind gusts damaged the set and scrapped a performance Wednesday, July 21 . Earlier this week, poor air quality was also the culprit behind the cancelation of Thursday's show .

Tickets for Sunday's performance, which will be the final show, can be purchased by calling the box office at 218-477-6502 or by visiting trollwood.org . Prices range between $15 an $35.
