Jen grew up not too far from the trestle bridge that is part of the Red Jacket Trail here in Mankato, and remembers riding horse out to the trestle before County Road 90 was built.  High water levels caused some damage to the bridge, and now it has to receive some pretty extensive repairs.  As both Jen and Michelle are avid runners on our True Team, they look forward to when the repairs are complete.

This past weekend Dance Express performed their annual dance recital.  As a part of the show, dad's performed a dance (while wearing tutus) with their daughters.  The daddy-daughter dance is always a big hit at the recital, and the True Team is proud that members of our True Team family were a part of it!  Our listing coordinator Michelle's oldest daughter Marissa, and her husband Matt were just one of the many daddy and daughter combinations to participate!


The Free Press even did an article on the dance...click here to read a portion of the article.
