Congratulation to the team at Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation!!

The Iowa Lakes Corridor has been named the Large Division winner in the Entrepreneurial category by the Mid-America Economic Development Council (MAEDC) for the Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute (OEI)!

MAEDC represents economic development professionals across 13 states throughout the Midwest, making this recognition especially meaningful for our region and the work we’re doing to foster entrepreneurship and innovation.

We’re incredibly proud of OEI and the impact this program has made over the past 20 years by connecting Iowa’s top college students with entrepreneurs, business leaders and opportunities to learn, grow and build their futures. This award is a reflection of the many people who make OEI possible year after year. Thank you. We’re grateful for your support and proud to celebrate this honor with all of you!

The Spencer Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors went to the Grand Opening of Trinity Preschool/Daycare center today. They just expanded their services to include infants. The building took on 7-8 feet of floodwater in 2024 and they were so grateful to First Congregational Church of Spencer, IA for allowing them to use their location while they rebuilt. They currently have 80 kiddos enrolled, 12 staffers and are accepting applications for babies.

Since it’s hot and muggy out, Hank and I agreed it’s the perfect weather for ice cream!! The Daily Dip & Sip - McCreary's Hospitality has altered their hours a touch. They are now open later Wednesday nights for after Church treats and slso on SHS home football game nights. Closed Sundays!! It’s always a good time for ice cream.

If you are not in the market to buy a building, the business alone is for sale too. Vermeer Glass Art could be the career you’ve been waiting for with great mentors Jim & Julie Vermeer. Vermeer Glass Art
