Sanborn, Iowa (NorthwestIowaNow.com) — Chances are you have heard of a restaurant because of a social media influencer named The Iowa Galivant. JayJay Goodvin is the host of the online blog and social media channel, and when he spotlights Iowa, we pay attention. With over 108,000 followers on Facebook alone, the decision to invite him to O’Brien County was an easy one for Kiana Johnson with the O’Brien County Economic Development Corporation and Tour O’Brien County.

An Agri Tourism Grant through Tourism Iowa made it possible to arrange the visit with the social media star, and since his visit last month, thousands have viewed his videos from O’Brien County.
