Just a short drive up I90! – Well a 3 hour drive and an overnight stay but hey.  It’s worth it…

Odin Craft Mill – no indoor restrooms on site (Porta-a-Potties with sinks).  Food available on site to eat inside or in the outdoor tents.  Shopping – Runners will be there to help haul your items to check out counter and give you a number for your stack of purchases.  In the past, Deb has found it useful to go through once, check out, bring items to your car and then go through a second time  -- she always finds more things she didn’t see the first time.  Cash is faster to check out.  They only have one credit card machine – so understand there is a wait when using your credit card.
