Living Cemetery Tour 2016
Well, the tour is over and it was another great experience for all of us. The actors dug into their saint's stories and gave us a glimpse of their lives and times. This is the first time we tried a luncheon. We served close to 250 meals during the tour. Barb and her crew did an excellent job keeping everyone well fed. Many people enjoyed the additional displays of the saints that Lynne organized. Finally, it was fun to have our resident historian, Myron Lindgren, available to talk with visitors and discuss families, relations, events from Elim & Scandia's past.
