Halloween Party of the Year: 1976
Danny Stevens of Danny’s Reasons hosted the “Halloween Party of the Year” at his spacious, 53-room home at 1819 Mount Curve Ave. The guest list included a number of musicians who were performing in town, including Hall and Oates, Neil Sedaka, John Denver, John Prine, and Lou Rawls. 200 other guests rounded out the event. RCA Records and Greathall Productions asked Danny to give the part because all the stars were to be in town at once. Margaret Morris of the Tribune (October 29, 1976) reported that the house was bequeathed to St. Mary’s College in Winona by a Hoover vacuum heiress and Stevens bought it in 1974 for $300,000, he says.
