We are beyond excited to announce THREE incredible businesses who are teeing up with us for the Look Local First Classic '26!

Give it up for...

Baccam Real Estate Team is a husband-and-wife duo born and raised in Des Moines who are all about helping people find home. They bring heart, expertise, and real commitment to this community. That's what local looks like!

Sips Dirty Drinks is one of Iowa's favorite dirty drinks carts bringing the flavor, the vibes, and all the good energy. If you know, you know, and if you don't, you're about to!

Elevator Co-Warehousing is a coworking and co-warehousing space in the heart of Downtown Des Moines built for ecommerce brands, makers, creatives, and hustlers who are ready to scale. This is innovation meets community, and we are HERE for it!

These businesses didn't just write a check, they showed up for small business, for Des Moines, and for everything Look Local First stands for. We are so grateful.

Tomorrow is the big day! The Look Local First Classic is HERE, and we could not be more excited!

We're heading back to A.H. Blank Golf Course for our 4th year in a row and if that doesn't tell you how much we love this place, we don't know what will!

Had the best time chatting with Chris, the course manager, as we get ready to tee things up tomorrow. The energy is already there, and we can't wait to see everyone out on the course!

See you tomorrow!

Downing has been a cornerstone of central Iowa since 1966, growing from a small residential builder in Indianola into a full-service design-build firm that measures its success by its clients' success. From commercial construction to architectural design, they show up and deliver.

Torgerson Excavating INC has been serving the greater Des Moines metro for over 30 years, providing reliable exterior plumbing services to residential customers throughout the area. They are trusted, local, and exactly the kind of business this event was made to celebrate.

Thank you both for supporting the small business community and joining us on the fairway. We will see you on May 30, 2026, at the A.H. Blank Golf Course in Des Moines.
