Winner of signed copy of “Trouble in Love Valley” goes to faithful reader and commenter—Gibber.

Today is a big day for me—-I am joining 6 other North Iowa Bloggers as we are guests of Webster City, Iowa. The town is rolling out their red carpet for us and we will be getting a first hand look at area businesses, meeting the mayor, touring the library and some other facilities and eating at some of their fine establishments. If you want to follow along today just follow #ShopWebCity on both Facebook and Twitter. We will be live tweeting all day and I am sure it will be epic. Many posts will be forthcoming in the following weeks. Thanks to the great folks of Webster City for sponsoring us.
