Tradition #6: Special Guests
Over the past 10 years, Bobbi’s Bungalow has welcomed some pretty interesting and memorable guests!
Musicians and performers who came to town for the West Liberty Labor Day Festival, including Allison Iraheta and Halo Circus, Jon & Valerie Guerra, and Tasha Layton.
Astronauts Rhea Seddon and Robert “Hoot” Gibson, who were in the area for the Champaign Aviation Museum’s Annual Fundraising Gala. Their signed photo and autographed book still have a place in the bungalow!
Authors and bloggers, including Kristy Burns of My Town Travels, Travel Small Towns and My Town Today, and local author Pam Defibaugh, who writes under the pen name P.K. Hudson.
Local businesses who have used the bungalow as a place to step away from the office and focus on their team and business.
And guests who came for reasons that were much more personal—a traveling nurse, families whose homes were being repaired, someone who needed a safe place to stay while getting back on her feet, and families simply coming home to visit the people they love.
But here's what I've learned after 10 years of hosting:
You don't have to be famous to be a special guest.
Everyone is special to someone.
Whether you've stayed at Bobbi's Bungalow for a family visit, a wedding, a festival, a business trip, a sporting event, or simply because you needed a comfortable place to stay, you've become part of our story.
And for that, I'm truly grateful.
Come read about some of the special guests who have walked through the doors of Bobbi's Bungalow over the past 10 years.
