149 | Beth Simonson of Hydeout Bed & Breakfast
Description
On this episode we’re with Beth Simonson of Highmore, South Dakota (pop. 682), where she and her husband John are owners of a historic home now known as Hydeout Bed & Breakfast.
Beth is sharing about the importance of getting involved in the community, and how she as an introvert decided to step out and do just that. Through that she’s seen a lot of her own personal and business dreams come true, as well as some of the town of Highmore’s.
She’s now helping position Highmore as a sunflower field tourist attraction through things like a photography workshop, Sunflower Festival, and more. We also talk about creating an arts council to bring in front porch music concerts and art shows, plus what they’re doing to encourage graduates to come back to Highmore.
You’ll love Beth’s story and learning how brave she was to start getting involved in the community, and then seeing how rewarding that has been for her!
