BIG Country 107.7 wants to salute the “everyday Hard Workin’ Hero” in northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota!

Working hard doesn’t mean a 40-hour-work-week … it means doing whatever it takes until job gets done.  Whether you work in construction,  a farmer, a teacher, or a stay-at-home parent … everyone’s job matters!

We want to know who your HARD WORKIN’ HERO is.  Tell us who they are and where they work?  Every week on BIG Country 107.7, we’ll salute a different hero.  They’ll receive a Hard Workin’ Hero coffee mug and be entered to win a quarterly drawing of $250!! (Names in bold are the $250 winners)
