Fall is a season of new beginnings and spending time with family. We love the cool crisp air, the changing color of the leaves, and all the spectacular fall festivals. In September, our office had a great time participating in the Burnsville Firemuester parade and the Prior Lake Fall Festival. Next month, we’re looking forward to both the Burnsville Family Festival and one of our favorite office holidays: Halloween!
We’ve also just started our refer a friend program. If you refer a friend through our website, you’ll be entered into a drawing for $100 gift card for a local restaurant on us. It’s a win-win!
Last but certainly not least, we are so excited to welcome a new dental associate to our team, Dr. Hoganson. Dr. Hoganson is a native of Minnesota who, graduated from the University of Minnesota. Some of her favorite fall activities include running, yoga, visiting her sister in Montana, and fishing at her family cabin in northern Minnesota. She is passionate about cooking and loves finding new recipes to try.
To celebrate fall, we wanted to share a simple recipe for one of our favorite office treats: pumpkin spice overnight oats. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the treat as much as we do, and we hope to see you in our office before the end of 2018!
