Innkeepers Donna and Ann Muilenburg of Okoboji Country Inn attended the IBBIA spring conference at Storm Lake, Iowa. The two day schedule of various bed and breakfast industry speakers was inspiring and educational for Northwest Iowa’s newest country inn. Innkeepers from across the state of Iowa met at King’s Pointe Waterpark to network, socialize, and share ideas to further promote their lodging establishments. We are looking forward to implementing the many ideas and skills we gathered from the conference.
