Iowans can be cult-like in our celebration of anyone with connections to this state.
Birthplaces, museums and roadside attractions dot the Iowa landscape, and all-day events fill the calendar in remembrance of people who, let’s be honest, could barely be called a Hawkeye.
So, it stands to reason that two people who not only told Iowans' stories for decades (offering a lens through which the world could better understand our residents) but also created RAGBRAI (the world’s oldest, largest and longest recreational bicycle touring event) should have a spot in the canon of famous Iowans.
