After mapping out the communities wants and needs for Nokomis, two big takeaways were had: the need for a grocery store and child care center. Now ‘Newkomis’ is looking at how to bring both of these to their town. While working on plans for their newest endeavors, ‘Newkomis’ has farmers markets weekly and continue to put together events for residents to enjoy. Trevor Loafman, a member of the group ‘Newkomis,’ talks first about the farmers market and their hope to bring a permanent store front to the city.

‘Newkomis’ has also developed a relationship with the Nokomis Ministerial Alliance to provide free labor to the elderly. These projects require volunteer work and monetary donations to have these projects done at no cost to the homeowner.

Coming this weekend is the 2025 Nokomis Homecoming. Loafman shares details on the many events and the fireworks that will cap off the celebration on Sunday night.
