Iowa
Magician in Iowa
Des Moines and the corridor, close enough to make a weeknight date work.
Iowa is comfortably drivable, which makes weeknight corporate dates realistic rather than a two-day commitment. Des Moines is the anchor and the Cedar Rapids corridor pairs with it easily; the western half of the state spreads out enough that a date over there needs a little more planning around the drive.
What I get booked for in Iowa
Iowa work is a mix: insurance and agribusiness corporate events around Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, plus a healthy amount of church, school and community bookings across the state. The insurance carriers run agent recognition evenings; co-ops and equipment dealers hold customer meetings in winter, once harvest is done. Summer belongs to festivals, fair week and church programmes. The rooms are banquet halls and hotel ballrooms far more often than theatres.
Travel
About 4.5 hours by road from Milwaukee. That is a regular run, and travel is either built into the package or itemised on your quote, agreed before anything is booked.
Where the people are
Iowa’s biggest cities
Most of Iowa’s population lives in and around these five cities, and that is where most of the events are. Caleb performs in all of them, and in the smaller towns between them.
Largest market: Des Moines metro.
