The complexity of “healthcare” so often overlooks the simple solution right under our feet in favor of patented (and lucrative) “non-solutions.”

Granada Getaway 303 N Main Street Granada, MN 56039 Phone: (507) 235-3505 Web: www.picturethisscrapthat.net Granada Getaway is a beautiful building that once was a Congregational Church whose members became too few to keep it going. In November 2007 it was sold to Deb & Kevin Kelly, owners of southern Minnesota's largest Scrapbooking Store, Picture This! Scrap That! in Fairmont. It has since been gutted and renovated to hold 14 people for a fun retreat. This facility is ideal for many different events. Scrapbooking, Quilting, Church or Family Retreats and Business Meetings are just a few. The tables/areas can be arranged to suit your occasion. The sleeping quarters can be closed off if you are looking to rent only the Studio/ Meeting Areas along with the kitchen.
