Milkworks

I always feel as though summer is truly here when the fireflies appear.  As a young child growing up in a small town in South Dakota, I spent many summer evenings enchanted by the sparkling lights darting in the grass, wondering how they worked their magic.

June 4th bought a bit of magic right here to MilkWorks as board members and volunteers held our first official fundraiser at the home of Dr. Tim and Patti Gardner.  It was enchanting to see such great community support for MilkWorks.

Dr. Tim and Patti Gardner’s home was the perfect setting for tasting incredible pastries and cocktails and enjoying the many friends of MilkWorks.
