Description:

Howard County Business & Tourism promotes and coordinates economic growth and enhances the quality of life for Howard County residents through four strong divisions: Howard County Economic Development (HCED), Howard County Tourism, the Cresco Industrial Development Corporation (CIDC), and the Cresco Area Chamber of Commerce.

Howard County Business & Tourism promotes a variety of activities to provide food and money for the two food banks and one food pantry active in Howard County. Their accomplishments include helping to establish a farmers market in every community in Howard County and coordinating the annual Norman Borlaug Harvest Fest, which includes activities to raise awareness of and combat hunger.

Come celebrate the Norman Borlaug Harvest Fest August 27-29, 2021 as we honor Dr. Norman Borlaug and the 50th anniversary of his Nobel Peace Prize 1970-2020. The annual Norman Borlaug Harvest Fest will feature a food packaging event at Inspire Day on Friday, September 18th where 300 area 5th graders spend a day being inspired at the Norman Borlaug Boyhood Farm.

How to Help:
