Since Lakes Country Living began with a Legacy grant from LRAC, it is very fitting that we share this info on the HUGE ECONOMIC contribution that the Arts make to this 9-county region in west central Minnesota!

WHOOWEE! (PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!)

$22,287,000 - that is the economic impact of the arts right here in our own little corner of Minnesota!

This is just one of many incredible facts revealed yesterday at the State Capital, at the Arts Advocacy Day rally. This needs to be shared with every State Legislator, Chamber of Commerce, City Council, and County Commission in our nine counties of Becker, Clay, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse and Wilkin!

See the entire survey, and arm yourself with powerful data that will impress the decision makers in your community: http://creativemn.org/

Thank you Sheila Smith and MCA for organizing Arts Advocacy Day!
