Stopping Traffic in Maynard.

>
Two city signs in a row! We pulled onto the main street of Maynard, Minnesota last night to speak at the brand new city meeting room. What a lovely, modern facility with wireless sound system and set up for top-quality projection. But the most charming moment was when we spotted the classic "sandwichboard" style sign in the middle of Cynthia Street, announcing our event.

We had a fascinating time engaging with the memories of the ladies of Maynard during and after our presentation. Shared recollections of the role of wooden spoons raised a chuckle and consideration of the best ways to make sure our children and grandchildren can share the foods made by our mothers and grandmothers reminded us all of the power of food as a carrier of culture.

Today our last stop. Noon Potluck in Graceville. Hope you can join us!
