Farmers Market
Buy fresh. Buy local. And while you're at it, buy quality. Area farmers showcase and sell their grown goods from late Spring to Fall at the
Farmers Market. Located in-front of the historic Wapsipinicon Feed Mill, the Farmers Market is buzzing with business as residents and visitors alike pick out fresh produce that is grown locally. Support local business and shop with us! Check out the Chamber's Event Calendar for dates & times!
Friday Night Live

Friday Night Live. For 3 Fridays during the summer, the Chamber of Commerce hosts this free event. Bring a lawn chair and relax with us!
