Boomtown Institute – Pride in Your Hometown!

Whether you are a quilter or not, if you read Dr. Laura Walker’s ezine from Dakota Cabin Quilts, you can’t help but feel the pride she feels toward her hometown of Hettinger, ND, population 1,307. If you didn’t see it in my blog on October 26th, here it is again:

“Friday morning at 9 am sharp, I drove down Hettinger’s Main Street, and pulled up to park in front of Dakota Cabin Quilts. I paused to enjoy the beautiful autumn morning and noticed other merchants arriving at their shops, keys in hand, opening up for the day. Across the street, someone swept leaves from the sidewalk in front of the insurance agency. To the north, I heard the wet sound of a window being washed, followed by the squeak of a squeegee. I gazed with pride at our storefront, our pretty window displays (thanks Ellen!), and saw some of my favorite quilts hanging from the ceiling near the front of the shop.
