Summer may be winding down, but our #DreamBuilders are soaking up every last bit of it. From lake days + favorite summer drinks to concerts, family time + getting outside, here’s what our team has been loving lately.
Addie Graham-Kramer | Founder + CEO
Card games by the lake with family, early morning bike rides + patio meetings with clients at Fernson Downtown with an iced tea in hand. These are just a few of the things making these last weeks of summer extra sweet for Addie!
Kali Trautman | Chief Operations Officer
A few of Kali’s summer favorites have included exploring Mackinac Island, sipping a Citrus Bliss cocktail at Carpenter Bar, baking homemade strawberry Pop-Tarts (confirmed, these are as good as they sound!) + getting ready for her favorite season… fall!
Krista Vandersnick | Director of Events
Krista has been enjoying soaking up lake days with family + loving the dot sprinkle cake trend for family celebrations + softball treats. Her dreamy summer drink of choice is a zero sugar A&W root beer with toasted coconut + vanilla creamer, yum!
Jess Muhs | Event Brand Designer
Jess’s summer has been all about being outside + spending time with the people (and cats!) she loves. Outdoor concerts, s’mores by the fire, working on her tan, hanging with family + getting out for different activities around downtown Sioux Falls have all made the list.
Emma Anderson | Strategic Communications Manager
Summer favorites for Emma are all about family/friend time + getting outside. Lake Kampeska, golf, pool days + a trip to Colorado for a wedding. Add an iced coffee or Huego Spritz + she’s set!
Jared Indahl | Event Designer
Jared has been enjoying summer hikes, summer trips + sips with besties. Pretty much the perfect summer combination! There’s nothing better than getting outside, exploring new places + making the most of these last few weeks of summer.
Ashley Anderson | Partnerships + Events Manager
One of Ashley’s favorite summer drinks is a Chick-fil-A Diet Lemonade with Cointreau, 1800 Coconut Tequila + lime juice. She’s also loved family time at Jacobsen Plaza (splash pad for the win!), walks with friends on the bike trails + using up summer tomatoes from the garden. (Hello, Bruschetta Chicken!)
Amy Muth | Event Designer
Amy has been soaking up the simple things this summer. Avocado toast + a Café Miel on the MB Haskett’s patio, followed by a long hike at Newton Hills with CAAMP Radio on Spotify. A pretty great summer day if you ask her!
Nicole Mutchler | Event Project Manager
Nicole’s summer favorites are basically any chance to pet an animal (big fair girl over here!), watch baseball (Go Royals!), stop + smell the flowers or bike around Colorado. She’s been soaking up every bit of summer!
Courtney Stegenga | Event Project Manager
Courtney’s summer has been all about concerts! She’s made her way to shows from Sioux Falls to London, making the most of every chance to enjoy live music + a summer night. Her favorites this summer were Harry Styles + Noah Kahan, with a Twisted Tea in hand!
Mollie Brown | Happiness Coordinator
Mollie has been soaking up the last few weeks of summer with long walks, time with her family’s dog, Lucy girl, car shows, boat days + outdoor concerts. And of course, a Sunkissed cocktail from Looks!
Addie Poppe | Venue Sales + Events Manager
Addie has been soaking up summer with plenty of quality time fishing + enjoying days on the lake. But the biggest highlight of all? She got married this summer! It’s been a season full of sunshine, time with loved ones + some pretty special memories.
A Happy Summer Team
Looking back, it’s the little things that have made this summer so fun for our team. Time with family, getting outside, traveling, trying new things + making memories along the way. We’re a pretty happy group of #DreamBuilders + we’re soaking up these last few weeks of summer before fall gets busy!
