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!

It's been some time since we've been able to do in person interviews and we were anxious to sit down with Congresswoman Cindy Axne (D-IA) and talk about a host of business related issues from taxes to farming to child care to roads, bridges and even cyber-security. It's a wide ranging conversation and we invite you to listen in. There is so much going on outside of D.C. and you should know about it. If you are interested in more here is her campaign website.

He's back! After a scare (you'll hear about it) Jeff Pitts the managing editor for Cityview Magazine is back with Stuff to DO in the DSM Metro. We riff on a bunch of stuff from movies, to music, yoga, rodeo, cycling, a renaissance event at Sleepy Hollow, closed bars (with a great idea on how to skirt the shutdown...no, really!) and much more. Have some fun already...you've earned it!
We're a little less than a month away from the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) coming to Des Moines, iowa. So? Well, that's what you may think however this is another example of how the Greater Des Moines Metro continues to punch above its weight. We caught up with Jay Byers from the Greater Des Moines Partnership about the event, who is coming and what the residual impact will be. No matter what business you are in...you might want to pay attention.

We think it's neat that such a well known distillery is right in our backyard. The Iowa Distilling Company continues to grow and bring new products to market. Here we visit with principal Todd Dunkel about the process of distilling, a new vodka, marketing existing brands and being a young, rural business owner.
Just to the south of Des Moines is the wonderful community of Indianola, which now finds itself as part of the Greater Des Moines Metro. We asked about that and a whole bunch of other questions for our guest Mayor Kelly Shaw. Here is that conversation.

First it was Iowa wine followed by craft beer and then it was craft distilling. There have been lots of changes in the world of distilling spirits and we sat down with Todd Dunkel of The Iowa Distilling Company to talk about the opportunities and the challenges in his business. We also talked about new ideas coming from his place in Cumming, Iowa.
