Help us give a Chamber welcome to new member Oscar Carl Vineyard at their upcoming ribbon cutting with complimentary wine tasting.  Melanie and Roy Olsen planted the first 200 Frontenac blanc grapevines in 2016 making Oscar Carl Vineyard the first commercial vineyard in Woodbury county.  To better share the experience they custom-built a building to support the vineyard operations that includes a wine tasting area, a one-of-a-kind venue for a variety of gatherings, a patio overlooking the original vineyard and pond, and a covered patio just feet from the vineyard.  A two-room Bed & Breakfast nestled in the upper level loft will complete the space.  We hope you join us and get a look at the beautiful vineyard.

Everyone has grand plans of what they want their career to look like...some end up doing that exact thing and some find the path they were truly meant to be on. Becca Feauto knew at a young age that she wanted a BIG career. She wasn't sure what that career was, only that it would change people's lives. Five years ago, Becca created Pulse Marketing and is helping dozens of small businesses and start-ups meet big goals. If owning her own business wasn't enough, Becca's also a wife, mother of three, and in her spare time (!), she and a business partner began a new venture and purchased Siouxland Magazine. Join us for the next Entrepreneur Hour and hear Becca's story of starting her own marketing company, how she helps local businesses market their companies, and what's in store for this entrepreneur's future.
