Thank you to everyone who attended our Social Media Workshop with Dan Cline of Midwest Small Town. We had an excellent turnout and a highly productive session focused on how businesses and organizations can use storytelling to strengthen their online presence.

Dan walked us through practical strategies for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasting, emphasizing that consistency and quality drive better engagement than simply posting more often. He also highlighted a key statistic:
đź“Š 58% of customers prioritize meaningful interaction over traditional advertising.

For small businesses and local organizations, this means that clear, authentic storytelling isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s a competitive advantage.

We appreciate everyone who invested the time to sharpen their digital skills and strengthen our local business community.

Choose Iowa’s Farm Crawl (June 26–27) is looking to add more stops, and we know O’Brien County has outstanding farms, markets, you pick operations, and shops featuring locally sourced Iowa products.
This event brings visitors into communities, supports local producers, and strengthens our regional food and Agri-tourism economy. We’d love to see O’Brien County well represented.
If you’re interested in being part of the Farm Crawl — or know a business that should be — contact our office. Let’s highlight the incredible local food and Agri-tourism assets we have right here in O’Brien County.
