I saw a Grayline tour bus park on Main St. We don't often see tour buses in our fair burg, so it piqued our interest.
There was a sign on the side of the bus that read: Kissing Camel Women's Club. Kissing Camel is a community in Colorado Springs located close to the stunning red rocks and scenery of Garden of the Gods.
Naturally I was wondering about the club and why they stopped in Florence, when Ginger Hanson, the club's outgoing president, dropped into ye olde antiques mall, after a delicious lunch at the Aspen Leaf.
She said the club is simply a group of neighbors devoted to friendship, education and culture. The club was formed in 2009 to share community, friendship and fun and now has over 150 members.
The club recently decided to enjoy short day trips to Colorado destinations and chose Florence and Canon City as one of their first adventures.
Hanson and fellow club member, Nancy Vessel, took a trip down memory lane in many of Florence's antiques stores--before heading off to tour the Abbey Winery in Canon City.
We're thrilled that some of the neighbors and friends that form the club decided to visit their neighbors to the south in Florence.
