Many Iola-Scandinavia businesses and persons with ties to the area fared well in the 2021 Best of Waupaca promotion by the Waupaca Buyer’s Guide.

Glacier Wood Golf Course received the top honor for area golf courses.

Sherry Kielblock of Silver Lake Lanes came in first as the area’s top waitress (not bad for a business owner!).

Hailing from Iola, Dave Loken received recognition as the Best Insurance Agent and his company, C&D Insurance, the best insurance agency. He is following in his dad’s footsteps with outstanding insurance service.
