Well, readers, 2023 is coming to an end, and I’m excited to wrap up and put a bow on another great year of Woodbury Magazine. Over the past 12 months, we’ve met local neighbors, friends and family members across our community; we’ve visited new and seasoned businesses; we’ve showcased much of what Woodbury has to offer; and so much more.
In this last issue of the year, we’re hitting home on what makes Woodbury such a wonderful community by focusing on giving back and family. In this issue, you’ll meet Chia and Hleeda Lor, two local sisters, who are curating a colorful life together and the Peterson family, who created The COLE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects adaptive equipment to families in need. Colleen Peterson says, “Every child deserves to stand, to walk, to shower safely and learn to ride a bike.”
Plus, a new business makes it easy to devour French cuisine. At Sweet Paris Crêperie and Café, delight in sweet and savory French crêpes, French-inspired breakfast dishes, soups and salads, beverages and more. Hear from partners Dustin Wetzel, Pete Thelen and Dan Vansteenburg.
