Program Description

Event Details

Join Iowa historical fiction writer, Ann Hanigan Kotz, on Thursday, April 9th at 6:30 pm at J's Pizza & Steakhouse as she takes you through the early 20th century in her new program. You’ll discover the state’s Prohibition journey along with why many families turned to bootlegging. Ann takes you through the distant past, beginning with the murder of a pastor in Sioux City, the tarring of an official by the Iowa City Beer Mafia, the rumrunning of Iowa’s infamous rye whiskey in Templeton, and ending with the current exploits of today’s underground whiskey business. A whiskey tasting for those 21+ is also included! Registration requested but not required.
