Main Street Fort Dodge has been active over the last few months organizing committees and projects designed to show the diversity and eclectic shopping experiences found in the historic downtown district.
Recently “Main Street” the 2017 International Barbershop Quartet Champions visited the Fort Dodge community as a featured quartet for the annual Fort Dodge Harmony Brigade program. It was the perfect opportunity to reach out to the group to produce a video that promoted the downtown district.

Businesses featured included Daniel Pharmacy, Mary Kay Gifts and Home Décor, Annie’s Bridal and Dress Shoppe, Eastwood Realty, Real Deals of Fort Dodge, Olde Boston Restaurant and Pub, the Webster County Courthouse and Webster County Supervisors.
