Jamie Lynn Neal was intrigued by the possibility of “living tiny,” so she refurbished a 1988 Terry Taurus camper and transformed it into her cozy home.  Hear about Jamie’s challenges in creating her “Scooby Shack” and ask her questions about what it’s like to live in a small space. Next, tour a Tiny Home with Norman Yoder, owner of Tiny Homes of Ohio, as he discusses his self-contained and environment friendly all season homes. The evening will start in our Community Room where Mr. Yoder will talk about his unique products before moving outside where he will answer questions as we tour one of his homes.
