For the next 30 days, we're going to feature many of the towns on our tour. We're giving away a fun Hope Tour Gift Basket, so be sure to answer our questions for your chance to win!
After St. Louis, we'll make our way to Rochester, Minnesota - home of two incredible women writers and a phenomenal photographer.
In Rochester, we'll introduce you to Vicki Tiede, Kadi Tiede, and Joy Dekok - three precious ladies I know you'll love. I think the Tiedes may introduce us to some foods that are not familiar to our Southern tastebuds or cookbooks - something called a hot dish?
Now we need to hear from Rochester residents. Leave your answers in the comments below for a chance to win a special Hope Tour gift basket.

| Okay, so I think this is Minneapolis, rather than Rochester,but selections were limited! ;-) |
2) What ONE restaurant would you recommend for our Best Bites on Tour book? Remember, we don't want fancy-schmancy - just good food and hopefully a fun atmosphere, too. Be sure to tell us what kind of food it is, too.
3) What's ONE thing in your town we should not miss when we get there? This can be something touristy, or something off the beaten path - but something that represents your town like nothing else. If we took photos there, folks would know it could only be from your town.
4) Name THREE fun facts about your town. We may use these in a later post, but it will also help us get acquainted with your area.
Leave your answers in the comments below, and be sure to provide us with your e-mail address so we can contact you if you're a winner.
Be sure to stay tuned for events planned in your area.
Thanks for your help.
Check the Kickstarter page for all the different reward levels and pledge your support! We could hold a party in your honor (S'mores, pizza, or wienie roast, anyone?) If we make our goal, Kickstarter collects the money and we go on tour. If we don't make our goal, you won't lose a penny!
