Tickets available

The Mystery Bus Trip is looking  for passengers. Two years ago I enjoyed the first mystery tour. The highlight was visiting Mennonite homes. In one home we enjoyed a quilt turning..saw about thirty quilts ..and unbelievable quilting. The basement of another home was set up as a quilt shop featuring clothing and fabric. It was exciting to visit an original home in Hawkesville and watch a quilt being marked. Remember this is lilac time of the year...and some back roads are breath taking.
