Their program is designed for all who have a good sense of humor
(and even those who don't) and love to laugh!!!
They dress in typical “cleaning lady” attire and speak with
a true “Swedish accent”. They have a firm belief that laughter
is good for the soul and contributes greatly to longevity!!
They delight in visiting on a “one to one” basis
with their audience.
You will not want to miss this program

Last Day of Shopping for the Season
St. James Marketplace
is located in a school, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places. It includes a farmers
market/hand made craft area and history room.
St. James,
located 1/4 mi North of Scenic Highway 12, is 4 mi on scenic road
from Missouri River and Goat Island where Pvt. George Shannon was
lost on the Lewis & Clark expedition.
Be sure to check out
the carved Shannon Statue in Wynot.
Come to our area and enjoy the breathtaking
scenery.
We offer tours of the marketplace, showing off our
pioneer history. Along the Lewis & Clark Trail,
you will be sure
to learn more about the
Corps of Discovery and the Shannon Trail.
