What is there to do around town? Casey's and buying random things there :)

What is it like to live in VM? I think honestly it's one of the best things ever. We're such a small town and the population is approximately 1,000 people. It's a really calm place and not very many things happen here that is really bad. Van Meter is a great community to grow up in!

What's the weather like in the town of Van Meter-- snow days? Summer days?

Snow days on the other hand aren't very fun, and I personally don't like snow. It depends on how much snow we get though, and usually we have about two or three snow days per year. Which is okay, but after a while of having bunches they start to get annoying because you have to make them up at the end of the year.

Summer days are amazing in Van Meter! Although we don't have any public pools to go swimming in for hot days. So usually we just go to a local beach in West Des Moines or some pools that are nearby in bigger cities or towns.

Is Van Meter a loud or quiet city? Quiet :) There isn't too much action out here and if there is, it's usually related to sports!

Is Van Meter a close community? Yeah, sometimes it's way too close. Sometimes there is A LOT of drama. But where isn't there drama?
