Spring Grove Nonprofits and Charities

As part of renewing my Giants of the Earth membership, I arranged for DNA tests for my husband Leonard Splittstoesser and myself. <br> <br>I was the first of my family to take the test, Once Johnathan Storlie explained that I would learn EVEN more about my paternal lineage if one of my six brothers took the test - and that I would learn STILL more if my father, then 99, would take the test, I proceeded to convince my brother and my father to take the test. That's how my 65 year old brother and my 100 year old father got involved <br> <br>Throughout this process, I found Johnathan to be a very expert and patient interpreter of the meaning of the complex information, I arranged a special session for my brother and my husband, being that their results had just come back and they were clueless about what it all meant. They were asking questions that I couldn't answer. Unfortunately for Johnathan, a weekday was not an option since my brother could only come to Spring Grove on a Saturday. But Johnathan, fortunately, was willing to meet with us outside his normal hours. <br> <br>We met one Saturday afternoon. DNA was never so interesting! I am thankful to Johnathan that he sacrificed some of his Saturday time to explain the DNA results to my husband Leonard, my brother John, and myself. My results were newly augmented because we now had my brother and my father's results. <br> <br>Thanks to Giants of the Earth - and Johnathan Storlie - for making interpretation possible. The experience far exceeds ordering a test online and then being completely on your own to make sense of it.

The Bluff Country Artists Gallery is spacious, but warm and inviting. I especially enjoy the way they rearrange pieces within the gallery to keep things fresh and interesting. The selection of jewelry is fabulous! Several price points at this gallery- there is something for anyone who appreciates fine art and skilled craftsmanship. Knowledgeable and friendly volunteer staff. Surprising to see this much really cool art in a small town gallery.

For 32 years, YOOH has performed a full scale musical in a horse barn each summer for 3-5 nights. We have a regular season of plays, including a Children's Play, a fall, and Winter/Spring Play. We also host special events and other plays to fill out our year. This is a very active organization and we hope we've brought arts experiences to Spring Grove, MN and the surrounding area.
