Jana, one of our wonderful brides from 2008 has started a business called Arabella & Fern that makes unique puppy and dog products. We took an afternoon to photograph her little furbabies for her new site launching soon. Bella is the pug. Fern the french bulldog.

The breakfast was a gathering of 2,000 Minnesota community, business, educational, religious and political leaders, including the Governor of Minnesota, state legislators, mayors and other public officials. Three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Ambassador Tony Hall was the keynote speaker.  Other speakers included newscaster Frank Vascellaro and former Governor Albert Quie.

Grammy award winning Sound of Blackness performed along with vocalist T. Mychael Rambo, and the award-winning Minnesota Teen Challenge Choir.

The event was co-chaired by Jim and Kathryn Ramstad.   The amazingly helpful Paul from Ridgeway International helped plan and coordinate the event.
