CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF THE DRIFTLESS REGION
We know that only if you can first love a place, will you work to support it, to protect it, to enhance it. We want to encourage that love, that magic if you will, of the region, and brand and share the Driftless Region to those near and far. We will engage young and old to see their surroundings in exciting new ways–ways that encourage immersing onceself into the area, and in doing so, further hope, engagement, and pride.
We believe this will foster our youth to return or to not leave, our long term residents and business owners to thrive, our visitors to be glad they made the trip.
