    I highly recommend watching Avenue Q and the Lion King show when they’re in town.

    Being a native Iowan coming to DMU in the spring, I agree that there are entertaining things to do in Iowa; they just need to be sought out a bit more. If you like camping, fishing, and outdoor shenanigans; I recommend checking out Northeast Iowa along the bluffs of the Upper Iowa River.
