🎀✂️🎉The Eastman-Dodge County Chamber of Commerce was delighted to celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of this exciting new family destination

SCOOP AND BREW!!!

This unique business offers something for everyone—an incredible indoor playground where children can climb, explore, and play, along with a welcoming café featuring delicious coffee, specialty drinks, handcrafted crepes, and sweet ice cream treats.

Families can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere while children have fun in a safe, engaging environment designed for all ages. It's the perfect place to gather with friends, celebrate special occasions, or simply enjoy a fun day together.

We are proud to welcome this wonderful addition to our business community and thank the owners and staff for investing in Eastman-Dodge County. Their vision has created a place where families can connect, make memories, and enjoy great food and fun all under one roof.

Most community development training is designed for individuals.

But community change doesn't happen individually.

Why do we keep asking one person to come home and somehow change an entire community?

Revitalization is a social activity; learning should be, too.

So, my friend, Rebecca Undem of Growing Small Towns, and I are exploring a new community learning experience specifically designed for communities of 5,000 people and fewer.

We're imagining a one-day, highly interactive experience in Oakes, North Dakota (pop. 1,800), the headquarters of Growing Small Towns.

And instead of sending individuals, you’d register a team of up to 4 people from your community for $1,200.

You'd learn together.
Challenge assumptions together.
Build relationships with leaders from other small towns.
Leave with a shared 90-day action plan.

Because the goal isn’t to learn cool theories.

The goal is to experience things that make you want to come back to your town and get stuff done.

Before we take this any further, we'd love to know:

Would you attend?
What would make it worth the trip?
Would you want to host one in your region?

Tell us in the comments or send a message.
