It's fun! Upbeat! And different from any magazine you've ever seen! Welcome to Our Iowa, the magazine that celebrates all that's great about living in Iowa.
Basically, Our Iowa allows Iowans to "talk to each other". Reading each issue will be like sitting at your kitchen table and chatting with new friends over coffee, all of whom have interests similar to yours.
There'll be jaw-dropping photos of our beautiful land as well as some in-depth features. But the bulk of each issue will be conversational, light-hearted "Here's what I think..." contributions shared by Iowans... people just like you.
