We enjoyed the Welcoming Week event in Evansville City, Minnesota last night! We met Lyssa with the Evansville Art Center, pictured with Lion Ron Buse, the family who operates the Main Street Market, enjoyed root beer floats courtesy of My Kind of Bank - First National Bank, the ladies who served food and John and Brandon from the Evansville Community Developers! Good networking and getting to know your neighbors!
