Happy Moments Vol. 36: Iowans helping Iowans + Tiger King ... Cow?

Through giving back, sharing talents, and finding reasons to laugh, Iowans are helping each other get through the pandemic.

When you see a line of cars around the block, you know something good is happening. 

Penny sent us some pictures from the line at Tursi's Latin King in Des Moines. They were giving away free pasta meals sponsored by Jay Elder of the Elder Corporation. 

They had 1,000 meals to give out and they were gone in just over an hour. Budgets are tight for most families right now, and this meal surely was a blessing to many!

And finally, full disclosure: This is not from Iowa. 

But several Iowans shared it with us, so we had to pass it along.

You may have heard of Tiger King, or binged the entire series in one day (no judgement). 

Well these farmers in Sparta, Wisc. painted their cow and had a little fun with the series that's sweeping the nation. It's good for a laugh and it turns out everyone needs more of those ... and lots of happy moments!
