Thursday's Take: Taste of Indianola a Recipe for Great Things to Come
Last October, I was just two months on the job in Indianola, so I was enjoying a lot of my “firsts” in the community. One thing that I greatly enjoyed was Community Bank’s Taste of Indianola event. This is real plus for the community, and it supports two missions in the county that are vital to the well being of so many citizens.
