July 2025 Entrepreneur of the Month

The NIACC John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center and North Iowa Area SBDC are proud to announce Mike and Angie Lester of Winan Creek Barn in Clear Lake, IA as the July 2025 Entrepreneurs of the Month.

Winan Creek Barn is a rustic wedding venue nestled just outside Clear Lake, Iowa. The venue, founded by Mike and Angie Lester, offers a one-of-a-kind setting in a beautifully renovated mid-century barn. “It’s got that rustic, historic nature to it,” Mike says. “We did a ton of research, and what really sets us apart is the originality of the barn and the personal attention Angie gives. She’s essentially a wedding planner, and that comes at no extra charge.”
