TRUTH

Iowa = Corn.  I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn.  But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick.  The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014.  How did I miss this one?  I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later.  This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud.  Investigate this opportunity…
