So there's hot tenting in Iowa? Join Miyagi and Trips and the Midwest Crew as they head west deep into northern Iowa for the Annual 2024 Hot Tent Hoedown put on by Rob Pelton and hosted by Duncomb family farm. Unfortunately, this year we didn't have any snow to speak of, but it certainly did rain quite a bit. This is an event that changes location from time to time, but usually within a few hours of the Twin Cities. If you're into hot tenting or want to find out about it, this is the perfect opportunity! Lots of different models of hot tents to check out. There is a Facebook event page dedicated to this event if you'd like to learn more. Search "Hot Tent Hoedown" or reach out to Rob Pelton. This is an awesome way to round out the end of the year!
