Join the conversation as Lacey chats with her friend and neighbor, Sarah Vogl. Sarah is a relatively new Elyite who made the journey from South St. Paul to Ely, from suburban cubicle to self-employment in the woods. She is also actively learning about the art of homesteading (so y’all can expect to hear mention of gardening and chickens!). And no introduction to Sarah would be complete without mention of her enthusiasm for all things creativity, art, and Halloween! Sarah also happens to be a graphic design professional who creates content for your favorite destination marketing organization – Visit Ely.

Lastly, this episode includes a round up of upcoming events in Ely, Minnesota, because –  as you know – there’s always something to do in Ely!
