The Surreys are Out!
The "bicycle surreys" are all spiffed up and getting used more each day. Call us soon to reserve your time. You can choose the regular surrey that will carry 2 adults and a couple small children or the "limo" that will hold 4 adults and a couple small children.
Get on the trail behind our office, pass through the Longest Covered Bridge in Minnesota and head down the Wobegon Trail. Call us at 320-746-9960.
Pictured at the right is GARRISON KEILLOR who experienced our surrey briefly at the ceremony connecting the Wobegon and Central Lakes Trails.

Last month we reported receiving a grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation to support our work. This month we are proud recipients of a grant by the CentraCare Health Foundation to expand our work to more persons in need, develop services for adults with disabilities, and to develop volunteer standards and training.
Thank you to the CentraCare Health Foundation for partnering with us in our work!
