A Perilous Journey Started Christmas Vacation

KYLE, S.D.--That last day of work before Christmas is always so long. Plans have generally been made for family gatherings. Many of those plans involve travel of some distance. Many people leave for their destinations as soon as that last hour goes by on the time clock.

Natural Energy Bars From Pine Ridge

Elizabeth Blair teaches English at Southwest Minnesota State University. She is purchasing the latest health food from Pine Ridge. The Buffalo and Cranberry energy bars. Our class will be tasting them.

The thought of cranberry and buffalo together in one bite is interesting. Blair lives in the Twin Cities full time and part time near Granite Falls, Minn.

Several people in my English class are anticipating the arrival of these bars. I plan on searching the internet to find out more about the company on Pine Ridge.

Has anyone tried them?
