(Pocahontas)– Pocahontas county was presented with an inaugural “You Rock” Geode award during last week’s Iowa Tourism Conference. The award recognizes the top eight towns or communities that show exceptional efforts to improve and market tourism.
Pocahontas county was singled out for its “Kaleidoscope Project”, installing life-size interactive kaleidoscopes across the country. The last of the five scopes is scheduled for completion this coming summer.
The project was inspired by the late Leonard Olson’s Kaleidoscope Factory, which was in Pocahontas.
