"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Owatonna Chamber Annual Dinner

The Chamber Annual Dinner was held in January. One of the fun parts of the evening is the the table showcase. Sponsors pay to have the privilege of decorating the center pieces on each table. The 1st picture is a bouquet of flowers made to look at like a dog. The 2nd picture the entire centerpiece was made of chocolate and the lucky individuals seated there got to eat it! The third was a head mannequin decorated with flowers and beauty products. A person at each table is then, picked to take home the centerpiece from that table.








Nick & Terra Lewis. Nick was the Chair of the Chamber Board this year. His wonderful wife Terra is a distant relative of mine. She was an Ihrke and my Grandma Leola was an Ihrke. So, Nick has no shortage of jokes about the "Ihrke Clan".








My Amazing husband and I. One of our all too rare date nights. Brad works his tail off for this event that hosts over 300 people each year and we rarely see him the week of, but it always turns out spectacular.
