To me perhaps the best model of working together---is one we feature in our It’s YOUR Business Show----
Tyler Torgeson----talk about where you have been so far in June—and where you still see Sioux Metro going before July 1st—in 2 and a half weeks---
------------------Tyler----------------
Your model---how it was put together-----and are there other communities you have helped with ----
------------------Tyler----------------
The elections-----lots of want to be office holders ---even in Sioux Falls----saw that if you have 17 communities working together and you are a bigger city----like Sioux Falls----what you do---and how you do it---is really quite the model-----
-------------------Tyler----------------
Lots of communities—like where I live—Hartford—is crowning their Little Miss Hartford this week----on Wednesday----yes I’m back helping interviewing the would be Little Miss Hartford----and giving them an opportunity to be on stage---answering questions---and learning the poise that is so special for young ladies---today, for the Saturday parade---and in the future.
One thing I have seen is how the 17 or so communities want to and do attend events in those other towns. And yes then when your community has a big annual event—a good number of those 16 or so really want to come out and make you proud with your day in the sun.
We’ll get you ready for our 10:00—It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----when we come back—
9:54/00—KELO Commercials
