September 12th we hosted a sold out dinner in the barn at Lone Oaks Farm! For the last 6 years we have been doing dinners at this location with the amazing and kind couple, Pete and Luann Gilman. Collaborating on our 24th dinner to date with one more on the books for this year! Thank you to the Gilman’s for opening up your property and sharing your slice of Iowa heaven! I’m truly thankful for all the support you’ve shown me and my little entrepreneurial venture! 🥂

September 11th we traveled to Ames, Iowa for a large gathering at Reiman Gardens located just outside of Jack Trice Stadium. Beautiful manicured gardens with tons of activities! If you haven’t been it’s definitely worth the trip. From the butterfly garden to the world’s largest Gnome this is truly a treasure in central Iowa. Thank you to my amazing staff that keeps on working hard during this busy season!
