In this episode of Voices of the Archives, we're hearing from business owner Sandy Sgrillo. She owns The Wandering Llamas, in Greenville, TN; a small farm where guests can take guided hikes alongside llamas. Today, we'll learn where Sandy is from, how she got started, and what day-to-day life looks like in the Llama business! Voices from the Archive is a monthly segment of StoryTown Radio.
