Barbara Howard told us some of the stories of the Queen Anne Bread and Breakfast which will be open for tours and lunch during Shoppe Nevada. Larry Sloan gave us a rundown of the events at Talent Factory including the live show of Talent Factory Regulars.
Ending our program with a quick update on future events in Boone County, we had preview of Godspell at the Boone Community Theatre with director Susan Herrick and producer La Homa (Homey) Simmonds. Finally we closed out the hour with a reminder of Run For the Trees , a 5k run/1 mile walk at the Iowa Arboretum sponsored by the Boone County Historical Society
