AMANA, Iowa- Join us in the Historical Amana Colonies for Rhubarb Day, Saturday June 6, 2015, for all that is Rhubarb! There's a unique, hands on experience waiting for all ages during this first annual rhubarb celebration! Great food, music and FUN!
Rhubarb Day kicks off with featured rhubarb menu items at local restaurants- from savory to sweet, you won't leave hungry. Special events around town include a homemade rhubarb wine contest, rhubarb baking and recipe contest, and the Main Street Games!
Many of the local businesses will feature live demonstrations, classes, and special products, all featuring rhubarb-a traditional Amana spring plant. The demonstrations include how to use rhubarb leaves in cleaning and how to press a delicious drink from the stalk. Classes feature a basic food and wine paring with both rhubarb food and wine options. Special products include rhubarb soap and rhubarb candy.
The afternoon is highlighted by a four member Blue Grass group performing at the Visitors Center followed by BrewBQ and Blues at the local brewery.
