Planning to Dig? Make 811 Your First Step

Whew! August is a busy month! August 11 (8-1-1) is (very cleverly) National Safe Digging Day; take a moment to consider the risks of not planning ahead to dig. If you plan to visit the Iowa State Fair, plan a stop at the (air-conditioned!) 4-H building to visit our exhibit. And finally, as you prep for heading back to school, build energy-saving habits into your new schedule. Contact us if you have any questions.
