Iowa's Simple Pleasures

Dan Kaercher, founding editor-in-chief of Midwest Living magazine, and host of several Iowa Public Television series like Best of the Midwest, Taste of the Midwest, Parklands of the Midwest, and Best of Iowa, returns to IPTV in search of fun things for Iowans to do, see, and taste, right here at home in a brand new special, Iowa’s Simple Pleasures. Kaercher and the series producers poured over the State’ s abundant options of “things to do” and they discovered Iowa treasures that aren’t necessarily well-known outside their own local areas. Activities like tubing down a winding river, bike riding on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail, and so much more! And then of course there was a lot of EATING! From international fare at Café Dodici in downtown Washington, to the 20-ounce Gunderburger at The Irish Shanti in Gunder, there’s no doubt there is plenty here in Iowa to tempt your taste buds! And if your appetite is for fun, we’ ll also visit some of Iowa’s newer destinations like King’s Pointe in Storm Lake, along with some old favorites, like the Blank Park Zoo. [63 minutes]
