Messages up to 1-2 times a month direct to your phone, without requiring you to be on any form of social media or needing to log in to something.
Each issue will be different and we will continue to improve the format and content as we go forward.
If it looks similar to various social feeds, that is intentional. There is also submitted content and links to other local sources.

Tonight we announced a brand new award! The Rising Star award! We as the Greater Connell Area Chamber of Commerce board members had the pleasure of announcing a brand new award, the Rising Star Award. This award was put in place to recognize a rising star in our community. This year’s Rising Star is a student at Connell Elementary, a sister, a friend and a kind human. Our first award recipient for the Rising Star Award was even a participant in the Jr Miss Winterfest Pageant!
CAN WE GET A DRUM ROLL PLEASE
Our rising star is none other than the Executive Director of Noras Kindness Kitchen,
Eleanora Peters.

Big things are happening at the Reimann Industrial Center! The Port established this development site in 2019, thanks to a long-standing partnership with Balcom & Moe Inc. Based on high demand for more industrial ground, a deal was struck to double the size of the Reimann. The Port will conduct an engineering master plan analysis of the 320 acres in 2026-2027, while Balcom & Moe continues to farm the land.
