This Weekend
Prohibition in Iowa with Linda McCann
Friday • July 8 • 5:00pm
Winterset Public Library
Prohibition was the period in Iowa history when it was illegal to manufacture, transport or sell liquor in the U.S. This included Iowa. So, why then did Iowa farmers use their corn to produce alcohol? Linda McCann spoke with the children of moonshiners and bootleggers, and shares their memories in her book, Prohibition in Eastern Iowa. Join Linda at Winterset Public Library Friday and hear some of the fascinating stories.

Beer Choir is a social singing event open to all, no talent required!

There is no cost to attend and the drink special of the night will be the “Perfect Fourth” Flight—a 5 oz serving each of four pre-selected brews.
Of course, non-beer drinkers are also welcome. (The Drift has a great selection of wines, cocktails, appetizers and soft drinks.) And if you just want to drink and listen, you’re welcome, too, but don’t be surprised when you end up joining in the singing!
