  Protestors in Iowa

  After a lot of protests, the protesters and the government in Des Moines, Iowa sat down and talked things out. As of today they seem to still be trying to work things out, but I am not sure. I do know that they sat down with each other several times.

  Iowa Coronavirus

  I live in Des Moines, Iowa. We have never had an official state lockdown. Our state is currently one of the highest numbers of positive cases out of all of America. This photograph shows one of the drive through testing areas we have. Iowa still does not have a mandatory mask law/mandate. Our numbers are still rising. However, if you visited here you almost would not know it. It is almost as if life has gone on the same way.

  No Iowa State Fair for the First Time Since WWII

  After two consecutive years with record attendance, the momentum of the Iowa State Fair has come to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first time since WWII there will be no Iowa State Fair, one of the largest in the country and the second largest in the Midwest. The Iowa State Fair has only been cancelled a total of 5 times in its 166-years history and was even held during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. One of the most anticipated and loved events for Iowa residents is no more for 2020
