Main Street Minute

Main Street Minute       Ron Reischl

Why do we say “Manning, Iowa…It’s Refreshing.”?? The many reasons include past and current generations who invested in Manning’s future. Their investments of time and money helped make Manning the vibrant community it is today.
    Last week, I was blessed with the presence of my 16 month old granddaughter. In retrospect, it truly was refreshing….  Manning, as a small community, is also refreshing. It is not perfect……..it is refreshing. The pace of life, lack of traffic and caring neighbors are truly a difference maker. Caring neighbors include our local Rotary club. Saturday evening they raised scholarship monies for high school students. Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) was a sellout and huge success. Kudos to the Manning Rotary! The volunteers and the 275 people who attended are an example of Manning’s community spirit! Manning’s Fire Department was recognized at DWTS Saturday night. They are an exceptional group of volunteers and their dedication to their duties is amazing. They serve as our guardians around the clock. THANKS to y’all!!
    Main Street Manning is seeking to replicate the success of DWTS.  We will sponsor the “Main Event” this fall on November 16th.  The Main Event will feature local teams (business, family, friends) pitted against each other in a Family Feud format.  Imagine the hospital administration against the PCE engineers or a high school team against the city staff.  The event is designed to be fun and entertaining!
    Have you seen the new banners on Main Street?  WOW! As part of our Manning It’s Refreshing campaign, they add color and an exciting new look to our downtown district. Fifteen additional banners are available for purchase.  Downtown revitalization has gone into full gear.  The architect met with building owners last week.  It will be interesting for all of us to follow the changes to the downtown historic buildings this summer!
    Help us advertise Manning by putting a Manning It’s Refreshing cling/sticker on your vehicle! They, along with Manning It’s Refreshing coozies, are all available free in the MSM office.Why do we say “Manning, Iowa…It’s Refreshing.”??  It is due to our businesses, our volunteers and residents of the surrounding area. The sense of community goes beyond the city limits and includes our local farmers and all those who live in our rural areas. For further information on any of the above, contact Colleen at the Main Street Manning office at (712) 655-6246 or mainstmanning@mmctsu.com.
