*** Due to very few reservations we've decided to drive a 12 person van out to Garlic Fest this year instead of the 45 seat bus. We still have open seats that we would love to fill. Please contact Betsy @ Elizabeth.Gilkerson.Wieland@co.hennepin.mn.us or Abby @ aphillips@ups.edu if you are interested. Thanks!
