A Big Thank You to everyone who participated in our 2026 ISBGA Summer Conference at North Polk Middle School in Alleman in July. We had 67 Vendors, 37 speakers, and 145 participants in attendance over two days.

A big thank you to June Carstensen and her staff for all of their hard work preparing for us. And to Anita Miller and her staff for preparing our meals.

Our first ever Mechanical Rodeo and BBQ was a success and I expect it will be back next year. A big thank you to Joe Shearer, Central Iowa Farm Store, for organizing that event.

We toured the Graettinger-Terril Middle School & High School where they had just added on a wrestling room, weight room, and remodeled building.

Thanks to Phil Schmitt, Director of Facilities and Transportation of Graettinger-Terril CSD for hosting our meeting!
