One of my favorite places here in Eastern Iowa: The Amana Colonies! I get so sick of the look of “Corporate” stores and shops, I am much more of a fan of the quirky places, locally owned and not what you’re expecting. The Amanas is that place. This past Saturday I was there for Apfel Fest. I had no idea, you could do that much with an apple…and I LOVE apples! …I mean Apfels! Apple fudge, apple wine, apple caramel popcorn, all kinds of apple baked goods.
As I chowed down on everything apfel, I met so many KOKZ listeners who, by the way are awesome! One particular listener I enjoyed meeting was Sophia and her dad John (pic above). John listens to the Waters Wake-up Call every morning. When everyone went into quarantine last year, John’s daughter Sophia started listening and loving what she heard. She has such great taste in music, she wrote a paper on Fleetwood Mac.
Great people, and great shops, treats, baked goods, ice cream, etc… I can’t wait to go back!
