Explore La Crescent took a road trip along the Root River. You can easily create your own adventure and have an idyllic Southeast Minnesota day. La Crescent is a perfect basecamp for so many amazing day trips!

HOUSEKEEPING

Do you have something new to share with the La Crescent area business community about your company? Or do you just want to host a party?

We are looking for hosts for chamber mixers. These usually take place

Mondays-Thursdays from 5-7PM. This is a great way to celebrate your business. Contact us to get more details at chamber@explorelaccrescent.com

Have you made any new contacts this week? Challenge yourself to get out into the networking scene and make at least one new contact each week. BTB networking opportunities are abundant, but you have to look for them. Your local Chamber of Commerce is a great place to start. You need to get out there, you never know if the next person you meet may help your business and professional career take off!
