What a night! Well over 200 people came out to enjoy An Evening with Ian and Amy Millar on May 30th. A huge thank you to Purina for sponsoring this event and Krause Berry Farm and Estate Winery for being an amazing host venue. And a HUGE thank you to Ian and Amy for their engaging, fun and educational talk!
