Are you from Holton? If not, where are you from? Les grew up in Holton. Joan grew up on a farm near Wamego.

What is your family’s favorite activity? When the kids were growing up, we used to go camping with our travel trailer to other states and our local lake. We enjoy going to cross country and track meets.

What is your family’s favorite season? It is so hard to just pick one season. We love summer for all the fun activities and work on the farm that we have always enjoyed together. We also love fall, too. Fall harvest is a wonderful time when we can reap the benefits of all the hard work that is put into it. XC season in the fall has always been very special to us, too.

What is your family’s favorite tradition? When the kids were younger, we used to host Christmas Eve family gatherings in our home. The kids would put on a Christmas program with acting, singing and dancing. They did a special Christmas birth of Christ play.
Our favorite tradition now is going to Christmas Eve services at church and having our family Christmas Eve time together celebrating the birth of our Savior.
