Friday
Season 5 of "American Idol" had arguably the best graduating class and, with the possible exception of Chris Daughtry, no one has had more success than Kellie Pickler. Since coming in sixth in 2006, the singer landed hits with "Red High Heels," "I Wonder," "Best Days of Your Life" and "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You." Expect those and others when she plays Dakota Magic Casino in Hankinson, N.D., at 8 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 the day of the show but are close to sold out. (701) 634-3040. Eighties hard-rockers Cinderella play Shooting Star, Mahnomen, Minn., at the same time Friday, but that show already is sold out. (800) 313-7469.
