Faces of Inwood: Meet Tim & Leah Blankespoor

Tim has lived in or around Inwood his entire life, and I moved to Inwood when we got married in 1999. We raised our two children in town and were blessed to call it home until 2017, when we moved just a couple of miles outside of town. Our daughter, Emery, is a Junior at Iowa State and our son, Elliot, is a junior at Western Christian High School.

One of the things we love most about Inwood is the strong sense of community. It's the kind of town where neighbors help neighbors, and everyone comes together to support one another.

The Fourth of July has always been a special tradition for Inwood. I was recruited the year we got married to help in the food stands and have been doing it ever since. Our children began volunteering as soon as they were old enough to count money, carry supplies, or lend a helping hand. They've been involved in the Fourth of July festivities for as long as they can remember, and those experiences have taught them the value of service, hard work, and community involvement.

We are thankful to be part of a town that cares so deeply for one another and proud to continue calling Inwood home.

Let’s celebrate the amazing people who make our city so special!

Thank you, Tyler, for stopping by and sharing a little piece of Inwood with your followers! It was such a pleasure visiting with you and showing you around our museum!

Sometimes, even as locals, it's easy to overlook the special places we have right in our own backyard. Our little museum is full of nostalgia, memories, and pieces of history that tell the story of our community and the generations who came before us. There's something pretty special about preserving those memories for generations to come.

We hope Tyler's visit serves as a little reminder to our friends and neighbors, both here in Inwood and in our surrounding communities, to stop in and rediscover this hidden gem right here in our own town! Feel free to follow Inwood Iowa Museum .

Thanks again, Tyler, and to Iowa Scenic Views By Foot for helping shine a spotlight on our little corner of Iowa!

I had the opportunity to attend a work conference this week, where former Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken spoke during one of the sessions.

One thing he shared that really stood out to me was that while we may not always agree, we can still work on finding common ground.

He also reminded us that people may not always remember what you said or what you did, but they do often remember how you made them feel.

Such a great speaker with some wonderful reminders about leadership, communication, and how we treat others.

Faces of Inwood: Meet Dawna Faber and Dan Kroger

Dan works for A&J Electric here in Inwood. He was born and raised here and lived in Sioux Falls for a short time before returning to Inwood. I work for Willow Creek Dental in Sioux Falls as an Accounts Manager. I was also born and raised in Inwood. I moved to Rapid City for about five years and then to Colorado before moving back to Inwood in 2019.

Jurnee is in 2nd grade, and Elias was born in April. We stay busy watching football games, having campfires, and going on walks every chance we get.

What we love most about Inwood is the small-town chatter, the all-time favorite Dutch bingo, and the comforting feeling of hearing the fans from the elevator in the distance.

Let’s celebrate the amazing people who make our city so special!
