Stuff to DO with Cityview & Jeff Pitts

It's the Friday Edition of the Business News Headlines and each Friday afternoon we offer up "Stuff to DO" in the Greater Des Moines Metro with Jeff Pitts the managing editor of Cityview Magazine.  Today we're talking about the Iowa State Fair, a "quirky" play going on in Indianola called "Title of Show"...think wine. The Iowa Barnstormers are in action this weekend. On Friday evening it's Architecture on the Move in downtown Des Moines. Yes we chat it up about the Downtown Farmers Market. Next week you can go to Indianola (again) for Tomahawks and Atlatls (we had to look that up). Zoo Brew happens at the Blank Park Zoo on Wednesday.  Also Bryce Vine is at the Val Air Ballroom for his "I Miss You A Little" tour. And on Thursday you MUST go to the Valley Junction Farmers Market to hear Stark Raving Madge and we tell you why.  Get out and have some fun already!

The Business News Headlines 10 August 2021

Leading off the business news headlines today is a story about COVID and...Disney. And, later, for the interview, you'll meet franchise attorney Rush Nigut and his non-legal business of baseball equipment. It's a great story but first the news:
The COVID concerns for Disney;
The USPS to announce holiday rate increases;
Hey, it really IS "Infrastructure Week";
So, what is in the bill? We'll share the numbers;
The Wall Street Report;
COVID cases rising in Texas & Florida.
Then a conversation with Rush Nigut about franchise law but then we quickly pivot to baseball and how that sport is channeled into his DNA...it's a family thing. His love of the game led him to Victory Mounds a business that ships baseball equipment all across the nation.  It's a good story and you can get there by clicking here.
