Laurapalooza Videos

Posted on August 2, 2010 by

The first Laurapalooza burst onto Laura fandom July 14-17, 2010. This video blog is intended to share memories with those who did attend and give those who could not attend a glimpse into what it was like to attend. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association hopes that you will join us in Mankato in 2012.

For each part of the video below, I’ve added both links and descriptions with enough information to (hopefully) find whatever you might be looking for.
