Don't have photos. I stopped in to ask about some of the local attractions. I was greeted and educated by the most amazing ladies I have ever met. They were helpful and knowledgeable and kind. These folks should also be the Chamber of Commerce. Terry and the surrounds are amazing. While you are here... spend a few bucks at the Supervalu and the diner and the gas pumps. Keep places like this alive. I could give directions to fun places, but then you wouldn't stop in here. Tell everyone I said Hi.
