Fest leverages resources well

People who wonder how to best leverage their community’s resources should take a trip to Oregon this weekend and experience the annual Autumn on Parade festival.

Were entrepreneur Jack Schultz, author of “Boomtown USA: The 7½ Keys to Big Success in Small Towns,” to visit the 42nd annual Autumn on Parade festival in Oregon, he likely would look around, nod his head, and say, “Well done.”

Schultz spoke at this week’s Sauk Valley Symposium about how residents who recognize their resources and take advantage of them can bring life to their communities.
