DICKINSON COUNTY - Dickinson County Economic Development Corporation (DKEDC) is launching The Morning Drive, a county-wide, drop-in networking event held on the first Tuesday of every month from 8:00–9:00 a.m.

The series is designed to spark community connection over coffee—bringing together business owners, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and anyone curious about what’s happening across Dickinson County.

DKEDC will bring the coffee and “yummy” breakfast pastries to a different host business each month, creating a casual space to share updates, swap ideas, and build relationships that move the county forward.

“The Morning Drive is simple on purpose—show up, grab a cup, make a connection,” said Natalie Muruato, CEO of DKEDC. “When people talk, collaborate, and encourage one another, good things follow for our businesses and our communities.”
