Amana Colonies Chamber of Commerce

A very helpful place to go to get ideas as to what to do in the Amana Colonies area. In Amana itself though the person that helped pointed out that the brewery is the one of the best places to go. Agreed. You can also get tips for events going on in Amana as well. Most of the town is sleepy and rolls up its sidewalks very early… earlier than most. The shops are nice as well as the restaurants. Some things I did notice though is much of the people that work in the shops and restaurants are women and the men seem to be notably absent. Some of the stores you won’t even be addressed until you go up to the staff and tell them you are ready to buy something. Even in one store a older woman acted like her ‘Stepford Wives’ attitude was wearing thin and was pissed off about it. I bought what I wanted from her and before the purchase was complete she asked me if there was anything else she could do for me. I said no but almost as soon as the sale was complete I saw the wine tasting that you could sample from various wine at the counters and asked if I could try some. She said yes and added’ That is why I said if there was anything else I could get for you’.
Just something I noticed while in Amana and something that the Chamber of Commerce will not add about how some of the clerks you may deal with may seem just a bit off in a relatively friendly town besides that.
