It’s been an uncertain few months of social distancing, staying at home, and not being able to visit our loved ones. As Iowa begins to loosen restrictions, many of us are eager to see our family and friends again! Now is a great time to think ahead and begin planning the much-anticipated reunion with the ones you miss the most. Council Bluffs is just the place for an UNforgettable reunion thanks to a variety of outdoor activities, social-distancing friendly attractions, and venue spaces.
CB United
In addition to giving you and your loved ones something to look forward to, planning a future reunion or event in Council Bluffs supports our local businesses — especially those that rely on events and the hospitality industry like our hotels and event spaces.
Plus, as you dine and explore Council Bluffs, that brings relief to local restaurants and attractions that are just as excited to reopen as you are to get out.
If you plan an event or have supported local businesses in other ways, share your story on social media with #CB United to inspire and encourage others.
