That is what I was also thinking, to hard to make it back home in the coming weather. It is about 700 miles for Owatonna, MN and we have some rain coming in the next few days as well as maybe some snow. About 90 miles NW of us there was a Halloween snow this year of about 8 inches. They still have some in piles that were pushed off the streets.
If you get near Bentonville, check out the Sam Walton Dime Store/Museum downtown. There is a photo of Denise with Sam Walton when he came to the Grand Opening of the first WM in Minnesota, which was Owatonna. Denise was there during set-up and continued for over 38 years as Paint & Hardware Dept Manager.
She had been to Bentonville several times for meetings through the years and we also stopped there when on a few MSTA Rallies in Ark.
