Community members make time this weekend to go check out Oakwood Retreat Iowa!! It’s such a beautiful place to have!

Saturday: you, us, and a tour through our glamping haven. Think of it as an adult field trip... minus the permission slip. Come check out the A-frames, peek in the dome, and fall in love with the woods (again).

Everyone have a great Labor Day!!!

…. Everyone… except Mildred who stopped by Corning today, her review is as follows:
“Today I made the mistake of visiting Corning, Iowa. Lord have mercy, what a circus without the fun.

The “downtown” is about three blocks, and I’ve seen more hustle and bustle at the nursing home pill cart. Half the shops were closed, the other half smelled like mothballs and regret. One place tried to sell me a “vintage collectible,” but I’m fairly certain it was just an old coffee mug from a gas station raffle.”
