I Don’t Think We’ve Welcomed Idaho— Sorry, IOWA — To The Table Yet!

I don’t think we’ve welcomed Idaho— sorry, IOWA — to the table yet!

Happy to use wttt week as an excuse to love on my school state.

(More fun facts under the cut)

About American Gothic — Grant Wood drew his artwork from his rural Iowa experiences.

About the pig — A major, MAJOR pork producer, Iowa has more pigs than people.

About the book — Iowa City is a hub for creative writers. I bet he corrects fanfic grammar. I’ve also heard that some farmers like to listen to audiobooks while working.

About the hat — Kum & Go is a well loved local gas station because of its… evocative… name. There’s merch. For how much longer, though?

About the shirt — Raygun prints hilarious (mostly) Iowa based T shirts. As seen in the actual table videos!

About the poster — WNBA star Caitlin Clark brought fame to the University of Iowa and to women’s basketball as a whole. You can’t not love her.

About walking tacos — A favorite casual meal you might see at a fair or football game, but also sometimes served at the state capitol. No tortilla required, much to the disgust of the southwest!
