If you can, grab me a program. I'm already thinking about my next Midwest foodways book, and it looks like some of the speakers might be useful for one or more of the ideas I'm considering.

And have a great time!!

Will do!

I am interested to compare notes with the person talking on drive-ins.

When I first went to South Dakota, I had a hard time finding people who was interested in South Dakota's food culture. Now I will know a whole lot more, thankfully!
