When Burdell was
born, his family was very
poor and there was “no
crib for a bed” so he was
wrapped up and laid in a
suitcase. He says he was
born to travel because of
his first crib and the
monument the city fa-
thers built on his birth
site—a Casey’s store.
Each year we attend
several travel conferences
where we meet with nu-
merous providers of
travel attractions, have
opportunities to network
with other travel escorts,
and participate in semi-
nars for travel planners.
“You’all come join
us on a tour!”

Are you aware that during WW2 from 1944-1946, Algona was where
10,000 German POWs were held. They worked for farmers, detasseled
corn, worked in milk processing plants, at a box & barrel factory, did
silo construction, etc. While there, six of the prisoners built a nativity
scene with 65 figures which are 1/2 life size . We will see that nativity
set and the museum. When the prisoners returned home, they gave the
nativity set to the town of Algona. On our way home we’ll be visiting
