Some of our buildings [4] were donated with our site. An old church we paid
to have moved. Two log buildings were donated as was the cost of moving them
to our site.
We hold four events each year w/meals. It is a lot of work but we feel it is
worth it, good PR. We sell homemade bread and sweet dough braids, ethnic.
Our other money comes from memberships, donations, and grants from local
companies.
Silent Auction and raffles during our events also.
