The audience was impressed by Ms. Hanson's work. Here are some of their comments: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful and inspirational views on community & creativity in rural areas. That is something I have a passion for & want to put into action when I get home. If more people made stimulating others in rural communities a priority all types of good times & fellowship would be had!" Thank you?for teaching us that small towns matter still. How open minds can change the narrative of the whole town.
