Great moments are born from inspiration. We do our best work when we’re driven by pride and passion. In February of this year, a group of volunteers became inspired to create a campaign that is unique to the Biggest Little City. We believed this type of effort has to come from the community so it can speak to the community.
There isn’t one person or business responsible for this campaign, but all of us in this city. Each person here owns this campaign just as much as the creators. We are here to build something great for the city we love. Welcome to the team!
“This is passion, this is pride. I have no doubt that this city is going to adopt this campaign.”
Join us to learn more about the Biggest Little City movement, the marketing tactics, and the $100,000 donation from the Peppermill.

Ronnie Parker Owner of Boost Creative Although he always liked to doodle and throw pots on the wheel, he fell in love with the process when a high school teacher forced him to come to class early everyday and do art. It was meant to be punishment. It ended up food for his soul. Ronnie creates art for his livelihood, in all the various interpretations of the word. He has worked for several agencies, owned his own agency and design shop, (a few times over) won awards and continues to be passionate about art. |
