Downtown Grinnell was filled with warmth and sweetness on Feb. 6 as the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Sweet Stroll. Friends, families, and couples gathered to wander local shops and restaurants, enjoying Valentine’s Day treats, refreshments, and special deals along the way. With smiles, cocoa in hand, and storefronts glowing against the winter night, the Sweet Stroll offered a perfect reminder of the comfort and joy found in shopping — and celebrating — local.
