AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Eden Acres will be the ONLY tour stop as the other two locations have recently sustained weather damage and are unable to host us. Eden Acres also sustained a bit of storm damage this week, but Mindy is still willing to host us! We’ll all learn from the challenges that SD weather can pose; many thanks to Mindy for being such a gracious host!
