About Us Meet the Happy Trail Tours Family! Happy Trail Tours, primarily a motor coach vacation company is nestled way up in the northeast region of beautiful Minnesota in Forbes ... a small rural community surrounded by evergreen trees, rivers, lakes and taconite mining companies. The office has been located in the home of Grant and Marge Ellis since 1983 when the "Happy Trails" story began blazing it's adventurous trails! First off ... let's introduce you to the Happy Trail Tours family. Marge Ellis, sole owner of the company since 2000 delights in every little detail of the travel business. Her self motivated drive is not easily matched by many men or women her age and it's no wonder she's the business woman she is today. She handles all the financial aspects, is quite skilled on the computer, loves escorting tours and brings great destination ideas that add to the mix of the many vacation tours that they plan. Marge is a great "storyteller" and delights in visiting with her clients when they call. We think it only adds to the personal touch that Happy Trail Tours has become known for. Next, there's Diane Olds, Grant and Marge's daughter. Diane came on board nearly 18 years ago. In the late 80's, the company started to grow quickly and Diane began helping in the office. Before long ... she was escorting the tours! Today Diane designs and creates the tours and writes the tour brochures. She spends hours on the computer looking for neat places to go that offer new and exciting travel experiences that are often unique just to Happy Trails! When she needs a change of scenery from the office and the computer ... she jumps on board one of those big beautiful motor coaches and escorts the group on one of the tours she's created! Then there's Lynnie Aro. Lynnie joined the Happy Trail family in August 2005 and has really been a vital part of the business. She handles the office with ease, always busy with endless tasks, enjoys visiting with customers as they call in and is one of our top motor coach escorts. After Lynnie's first time escorting experience to Branson, Missouri ... it was evident that the travel business was her "calling". Lynnie is also a delightful storyteller ... so if you happen to be on one of her tours, you're sure to have a wonderful time. The newest member to the Happy Trail Tours family is Gloria Hegg. Gloria is from Bear River, MN and escorted her first tour on New Year's Eve in 2006 to Chanhassen, MN. It's no wonder the customers enjoy her because she, too, is a storyteller, has a great sense of humor and thoroughly enjoys the people that she meets through this business. We're excited about bringing Gloria into the Happy Trails fold.
It takes a lot of commitment .... a genuine care for people .... and a love of travel to successfully own and operate this type of business. Our escorts and drivers make every tour that blazes a trail a memorable one. Join us and see for yourself. Hopefully while reading this, you've been drawn in a little closer to the Happy Trail Tours family. Perhaps you'll join us in the near future. So, whether you've been with us many times or just considering a bus tour for the very first time ... we would like to extend a warm welcome to the fold. |
