A book featuring each of Iowa’s 99 counties will be the subject of a book signing and discussion in Washington this evening. Carson and Connie Ode will hold a signing for their published book “Iowa: Spaces, Places, Faces” tonight at Dodici’s Shop from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The couple visited three counties at a time, each weekend for a year and recorded their experiences at local eateries and bed and breakfasts while researching cities’ histories.

The project created the idea for their second book, “Celebrate Iowa” which is about the many festivals across the Hawkeye State.
