Request for Support
This new, rural Iowa immersive experience is an event that will act as a catalyst for agritourism and be scaled across the state over the next five years. It is a showcase for how agriculture and the very nature of our small towns can be used for tourism and economic development opportunities. Thanks to the foundational support from Travel Iowa, Emerge Marketing Solutions has been awarded a scale-up grant of $50,000/year to scale this program statewide in the next five years to showcase even more rural communities, businesses, and non-profit organizations. To create an unprecedented, immersive, rural Iowa agritourism experience across the state of Iowa, it is necessary to secure additional funding to create the best foundation for success. Your generosity as a pillar of rural Iowa is requested to achieve the greatest success with this endeavor.
