The Cedar Valley is a thriving community filled with so many different people, places, and businesses. Our local businesses are the backbone of this region. COVID-19 has put many of our local businesses through some tough times this year.

In order to honor some of the amazing businesses in the Cedar Valley the Townies were born. This fun honor is given to a few of the Cedar Valley's  very own businesses for being great members of our community. Each business was picked based on their own special unique character that they bring to the Cedar Valley.

For our inaugural Townie Awards we decided to celebrate just a few of the staple local businesses that call our little place in Iowa home.
