Summer Startup

Spring is my favorite. Winter puts me in a funk in mid-January and that makes me unpleasant to be around.

It’s a special holiday created so communities can show love for small businesses like ours. And it wouldn’t be a celebration without customers like you joining us!

Aside from the many fishing opportunities, abundance of hunting, historical attractions, and community events, here are some cool tourist opportunities in and around “the Burg”: Phone Booth Be sure
Spoiled or fortunate? It’s a question that often runs through my head during summer break. It also happens to be a pretty popular topic of discussion at our dinner table. On the farm, my summer break was spent irrigating, rogueing soybeans or cutting thistle with my siblings…while our town friends spent most days at the pool or congregating
