Congratulations to Kathy for obtaining her Kiowa language and culture teacher certificate from the Kiowa Tribe July 23rd 2022 :) 

Spring has brought back the ultimate Farmers Market experience.  If you   haven't been to the  Tower Grove Farmers Market. you just don't know what your missing.  With a festival like atmosphere every Saturday Morning (8:00am- 12:30pm) .  Imagine going to the grocery store and purchasing your items directly from some of the finest local farmers and ranchers in our area.  This is only  the beginning of the fun at Tower Grove.  After groceries, enjoy all the  awesome food and drinks available while looking over the top ranked arts and crafts spread through the walkways. 

Essence of the Plains will be there every Saturday  for the foreseeable future (We have our baby granddaughter with us, so keeping out of town travel to a minimum at the moment) , though check back on a up coming local event we can't wait to announce.    Hope to see you all out there, be sure to stop by and say hi :)
