The community is very tight knit and jump at any occasion to help one another. If you spent a day in Fowler you would hear lots of honking (used as a greeting, not out of anger), see lots of waving, groups gathered outside of the general store conversing over their morning coffee; you'd see a neighbor walking over to help pull a stuck tractor out of the mud, dropping groceries off to the elderly woman who no longer can drive, you see people raising money in times of illness and always helping each other out. This is likely because most of the people in Fowler have known each other since they were children and also because they have a strong set of values and beliefs within their community.
