“As women we get really busy with lives and kids and husbands and jobs, and we don’t take time to get away with the people who support us the most,” said Lorena Fries, owner of The Farmer’s Daughter. “Girlfriend relationships are vital to a woman, so having an excuse to get away from your regular life for a few hours or a few days is a beautiful gift.”
 
 
That is what Fries hopes the 10th annual Girlfriends’ Weekend will provide for women in the surrounding area and beyond.
