Stacey a big push is about to get underway to remind metro businesses to do their business in the metro. Kevin a study by the Greater Des Moines Partnership shows local companies spend 51 million on goods and services outside the metro each day. Mark tauscheck here to explain the effort to keep that money closer to home. Mark guys, it happens all the time i am told. A local business will contract outside central iowa, for anything from accounting to engineering to banking to data processing. Bypassing local companies that offer the same products and services. J. Sayles design is responsible for some very recognizable logos and brands throughout iowa. But the head of sales and marketing for this small beaverdale Graphic Design business says they lose clients to competition in bigger midwest cities like chicago. It can be an issue. Sometimes, people think if its from outside des moines its better. Mark so why would a local company bypass a business a few miles away to do work with another business in the next state . I think there was the assumption that there was expertise that might not be available here, and i think sometimes its just an assumption. Mark the Greater Des Moines Partnership teamed up with the Economics Department at iowa state to determine how much local money leaves each year. They figured out that businesses and local governments in greater des moines spend over 13 billion annually with businesses and suppliers out of the region. They determined that shifting 5 of that money to local vendors could add 672 million a year to the local economy. Mark the effort to get the word out will be hitting the airwaves next week. I hope it makes people think twice. Its winwin if they do. Mark the study also determined if the central iowa region did replace just 5 of all imported commodities and services with local businesstobusiness purchases, it would add an estimated 4000 jobs.

Organizers are asking patrons to dress up in costume to celebrate. Some vendors will be doing that. And many of those vendors will be handing out candy to children who attend.

The rain will move in the southeastern suburbs, 51 degrees. Rain likely by 10 p. M. 46 and more rain at 7 p. M. This will help you plan for the farmersmarket tomorrow. Especially 10 p. M. Through 7 p. M. ,a. M. , later in the morning is a better plan. By 4 p. M. , number to a chance of rain at all. Here is what we are seeing. The clouds rolled in, we have nice sunshine early on. But now the rain moving into rain in nebraska, kansas, and missouri a bit more extensive there. This shield of rain is heading our way, the area of low pressure will move by quickly.
