Jefferson was happy to host a HUGE motorcoach full of happy travelers from Cherokee State Bank in Cherokee, Iowa! Over 50 travelers began their day with the "Behind the Beans" tour at Greene Bean Coffee, toured the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower, Greene County Courthouse and Thomas Jefferson Gardens. After a delicious lunch at Angie's Tea Garden, they then headed over to RVP~1875 for a tour and then attended a musical production at History Boy Theatre Co. They ended their day exploring the shops and attractions in downtown Jefferson. What a fun day! We hope they come back to visit again soon!

The Early Learning Center 2-5 yr.olds made their annual trip to Mahanay Bell Tower recently then walked to Sally's Alley,Thomas Jefferson Gardens, and back to the Plaza to view the sculptures and have their picture taken. Their trip to the observation deck was made possible by the Jefferson Kiwanis Club.

Business owners and community leaders in Jefferson are now working on an initiative to draw more people into their shops when they're using the Raccoon River Valley Trail. Earlier this week, they received excellent insights on how to do that from Bob Wilson (left), Perry Chamber of Commerce executive, and Jay Hartz, co-owner of the Hotel Pattee in Perry, who explained the "Pedal Perry" marketing program that community is using for businesses to identify themselves as "bicycle friendly." In Jefferson, the initiative is being led by Greene County Chamber & Development, the Jefferson Matters Main Street program and the Cyclists Of Greene bike club.
