We’ll visit the gift shop in Fremont Nebraska that expanded into two connected shops with selections from classic to quirky, downtown Norfolk is home to a gift shop popular with the locals and online shoppers, and a unique boutique shopping experience in Bassett with an old dime store feel! All that shopping makes me hungry, so let’s talk about food. Good food. And a lot of it - at a restaurant you won’t soon forget in Ericson. Thanks for listening!
