What we love about Iowa
"Great state fair and lots of other outdoor activities!" — Kathy Nielson
"The smells of the rich black soil in the spring ... tractors in the fields ... the friendly small town we live in ... the quiet ... the heat of summer and the colors of fall ... the fluff of snow in winter ... the smell of the air when you return from vacation somewhere else ... cows grazing in the field." — Gordon and Linda Dornink
"Wide-open spaces, the velvety look of a soybean field, rhubarb crisp in spring, Drake Relays, watching storm clouds roll in and pile up from miles away, Sterzing's potato chips and ham salad sandwiches, my mom's garden, my people." — Sarah Kirtene
"The variety in the weather, colors of the fields, trees, landscapes (hilly and flat)." — Cindra Goodburn
"I love their great antiques shops!" — Lisa Rakowski
"Photographing bald eagles along the Mississippi River." — Frank Angileri
"Clear Lake and Blue Bunny ice cream." — Tima Waterworth Wiersma
"The good-hearted, educated and hard-working people, the way everything looks and smells when it's green and growing, our history and traditions, football, politics, fairs and festivals. Iowa!" — Kelly Harward Elseman
