Iowa is planning the America’s Harvest festival next October to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. A three-member task force appointed by Governor Kim Reynolds made the announcement on Thursday at the state Capitol. Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer says the festival will celebrate Iowa’s role in feeding and fueling the world for the last 250 years. Multiple events will take place throughout the year including a celebration of 250 Iowans at the Iowa State Fair in August and the release of two documentaries produced by Iowa PBS. President Trump also announced a series of events that will take place in Washington DC.
