Last Day of Laurapalooza 2010

The Laurapalooza conference was officially over. Dean Butler stayed around and did additional signing and spoke with visitors. Some conference attendees headed further west to De Smet, South Dakota and attended the pageant that night. I however had to head home, but that didn’t mean I didn’t take a LITTLE more time to look around Walnut Grove and get some more footage before I left. OK, OK so I spent the whole morning on one last good Laura binge and left after 12 pm.

Last Day Part 1

Still in Walnut Grove before heading home. We look around Walnut Grove. Walnut Grove Museum, Dugout Site Memorial and Dugout Site.

Last Day Part 2

The drive home. Thanks for watching!

Drive home, includes a couple of things from And One More on the Way List.

Thank you for joining us on this review/preview of Laurapalooza. We still have a few more special posts to go and we hope that we’ll all see you in Mankato July 2012.

Update on Videos and One More on the Way

Sarah Uthoff — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:32:47 +0000

I just wanted to thank everybody who has said nice things about the videos so far. (Keep it up – it was more work than I thought it would be. ;-p) Anyway, I was doing pretty well until I had so much for Thurs. and then we had night activities at the conference Thurs., Fri., and Sat. and I had no Internet Access Saturday or Sunday and I spent yesterday unpacking. So the upshot is look for the rest of the videos starting hopefully tonight.

There is something I have to check on in what should be the next video and something else in one for the day after that, but rather than wait for definite OK on what I want to include, I’m just going to go ahead and post the ones I’m not waiting on word about. That means the will be a couple out of order, but at this point I think it’s more important to get them up. I’ll do a post of links in the proper order when I get done.

Thank you for watching with me!

I have one more “And One More on the Way” post I really want to include and that will probably be it for right now, but look for the series to return another time. (Tell me if you’d like it to.) I hope people enjoyed them and I’ve heard that at least 2 people actually added a stop to their route so I think they were a success.

A Word About Vending at LauraPalooza …

Amy Lauters — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:16:45 +0000

Folks, we’re only going to allow those vendors who display a concerted emphasis on items that directly relate to Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose Wilder Lane, or the Little House sites. We’ve also got limited space for such vending. (I’ve been getting some calls!) Ariel Johnson, a public relations student working directly with me, will be supervising vending. Contact her for a registration form, or to ask whether your product might qualify. (ariel[dot]johnson[at]mnsu[dot]edu.)
