Building Together - August 2022 - With Guest Co-Host Fr. Guillermo Treviño Jr.

West Liberty, Iowa - Building Together

Welcome to our August 2022 episode of Building together, a podcast about how community members, businesses, organizations, governments, and schools are working together to make West Liberty, Iowa, and surrounding areas a better place in which to live, work, learn, grow, and play.
We usually shoot for an hour long podcast, but this month is a bit longer because of West Liberty's action-packed summer, and we had to turn to a panel of experts to answer this month's "Ask the Podcast" question about Ice Cream. Be sure to stick around to the end!

Building together is produced as a service by WeLead, West Liberty Economic Area Development, a 501c3 non for profit organization that is here to promote and sustain the quality of life in West Liberty, Atalissa, and Nichols, to enable growth, to promote business development, and to foster a healthy business climate. Special thanks to West Liberty Auto Parts and the West liberty Good Fellas for making this podcast possible. My name is Ken Brooks, and I will have the pleasure of hosting each episode of building together. Each month, I will also have a guest co-host. This podcast's co-host is Fr. Guillermo Treviño Jr. ! Listen as Father G and Ken discuss the state of West Liberty, talk about upcoming events, and interview special guests! Check out this month's line-up:
