I need creative advice

Whitsy got me thinking earlier about Out-of-Town bags and I realized that I don't have a clue what to put in them. If it was summer, I'd have tons of ideas for a pamphlet on what to do in the area, but winter in South Dakota limits those.If you were travelling to our wedding, what would you like to find in your oot bag?

Honestly, most wedding's I've travelled to, I haven't really hung out in the area. I think restaurants near the hotel for breakfast/lunch would be a good idea, maybe a few stores for essentials? For people who are sticking around, maybe nicer/dinner type restauraunts, shopping, maybe some winter activities like ice skating? I've never gotten an OOT bag, but that's what I'd like as far as pamphlets go. For other things, is there some local/regional snacks you could include? I would love to get stuff I can't try near me. Oh, and water - I hate spending $3 for a bottle of water from a hotel vending machine!

oh if your wedding does not count as mass and a majority of guests are of some religion or a few religions directions to the nearest church and their mass times is useful.

Good restaurant list, movie theatres, bars (depending on your family)  The Christmas streets should be up by then, but that'd have to be prepared later.
