Decorah business trying to win "Dream Big" contest

Posted: Tue, Jul 20, 2010 5:58 PM

Another Decorah resident is trying to win the "Dream Big, Grow Here" contest sponsored by MyEntreNet and the University of Northern Iowa.

Rachelle Reis Branum is trying for a $1,000 grant to help The Clay Studio at 207 Washington Street, a community pottery studio that will open in September.  Its mission will be to provide a creative outlet, entertainment for visitors and residents, and a creative community through clay.

Branum says if she wins the contest she will use the money to buy pottery wheels for use in addition to a slab roller and handbuilding tools.

More information about her business--and a link to the voting--can be found on the "Dream Big, Grow Here" website,

The contest runs through the end of July.
