This Week's Welcome

If you have been following along, then you know this has been the only newsletter of this week. After six months of newsletters, I'm about to be changing it up! But... I didn't want to leave you cold turkey.

Can you believe Christmas is only 6 days away?!

So, once we get through the holiday season, the new and improved newsletter is coming your way! We're about to be highlighting many more small businesses of our area and hopefully you'll stick around for all of our '26 adventures!

There's been so much going on for everyone this month that I was hesitant in sending another list of events, but I did want to share our upcoming two!

You'll probably hear from me right after Christmas before we make our new changes. If not, hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas! 🎄

This Week's Welcome Hi! It feels like it's been awhile, aye? Most folks were busy over Christmas and New Years so I paused the newsletter. But we're back! Now, LKLD EDGE lands every Wednesday with the pulse of Polk County — then we remind you Friday so you don’t miss the good stuff! So, slight changes are here. Many small businesses are closed on Monday and Tuesday, so I always feel behind, but by Wednesday, flyers and information has usually appeared out in the world so I can share it with...
