Bachelor & Bachelorette parties!

Bachelor party & Bachelorette's!


'

# # # # # # # #





A bachelor party may involve activities beyond the usual party and social-gathering ingredients (often drinking alcohol and gambling), such as going to a strip club or hiring a stripper to perform in a private setting like a home or hotel.

In some traditions, more hazing-like tests and pranks at the future groom's expense, which shows the whole thing is also a rite of passage from bachelorhood (associated with an adolescent lifestyle, often in the common past of most participants, e.g., in their student years) to "more responsible" marital life. These pranks can involve a stripper if the entertainer is willing. Bachelor parties have come to symbolize the last time when the groom is free of the influence of his new wife.

Some women also participate in a similar party to be held for the bride-to-be. This is known as a bachelorette party or Hen party. Some also chose instead to hold a so-called Stag and Doe party in the US or a hag party or hag do in the UK ("hag" being a portmanteau "hen" and "stag"), in which both the bride and groom attend. The female equivalent of a stag party in Canada is often known as a "stagette", "doe", or "bachelorette".

The name was derived from Spanish and means “the gilded”. Come visit this whimsical town and enjoy proximity to the Iowa River and Pine Lake State Park. Wander downtown Eldora – much of it is listed on the National Historic Register. Stop in at the courthouse square or the Farm Museum.

This quaint community boasts a historic Victorian mansion, the Dyer-Botsford House, and is also home to the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier, one of the few Catholic Basilicas in the United States!

The town was officially called McGregor’s landing in 1847 by Alexander MacGregor, a descendant of Rob Roy MacGregor, whose family settled the original town. A ferry was operated between town and Wisconsin and eventually McGregor became a bustling shipping post. Now, the town draws tourists, especially during the summer, due to its location on the Mississippi and its antique stores.

Experience their Dutch Heritage and go to the Tulip Festival they host every spring! Check out their Woudstra Meat Market, or the Stitch Studio. Really though, the best way to experience a new place is through food, so we recommend Dutch Bakery and De Koffiehoek & Bistro. Stretch your legs after your meal and enjoy the Dutch architecture of downtown.

Decorah, Iowa!

Decorah is located in Winneshiek County and was originally settled by the Days in 1849.

Come visit to get a taste of Norwegian culture a bit closer to home than Scandinavia! In July, Decorah puts on a Nordic Fest, celebrating their roots with dancing, food and music.

Get some exercise and enjoy the nature along the Trout Run Trail and put your feet up after at the Dug Road Inn.

Bentonsport, Iowa!

Bentonsport is a village on the Des Moines River, in Van Buren County. Bentonsport was built around the first dam on the Des Moines River and became a successful mill and port town.

They managed a self-sustaining colony for several decades, not interacting much with the outside world. Come visit this preserved and still very unique part of the colorful American immigration story! The Amana Colonies has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and draws in many visitors interested in heritage tourism.

Kick back at A Prairie Rose Bed and Breakfast and let yourself be transported back to simpler times.

Pella, Iowa!

Pella is located in Marion County. The town was originally settled by Dutch immigrants who named the town “Pella” in reference to “Perea”, a refuge for Christians fleeing Jerusalem during the Roman-Jewish war of 70 AD. The Dutch had moved out to Iowa in search of religious freedom, much like the Jews fleeing the Romans. Many centuries later, Wyatt Earp grew up here before launching his famous career. Wander the downtown area and try a dutch letter from Jaarsma Bakery. You can take a tour of historic Vermeer Windmill or stroll along the Molengracht Canal. Appreciate the Dutch flavor that Pella has preserved, and mark springtime on your calendars – the town hosts a Tulip Festival! Pamper yourself at The Cheesemaker’s Inn and revel in the change to your routine!

Pella!

As it is home to scenic canals, windmills, and tulips, visitors to Pella could be forgiven for thinking they are in Amsterdam or Utrecht rather than the United States. Founded in 1847 by a group of Dutch immigrants, the small-town prides itself on its rich history and heritage, which now attracts tourists from far and wide. Its Historical Village has over 20 traditional buildings to wander around, with a church and blacksmiths lying beside the fully functional Vermeer Windmill, one of its main sights. While its attractive architecture and townscapes look a treat, there are also some delicious Dutch pastry shops to try out and cheeses, clogs, and costumes to buy. One of the best times to visit Pella is during the annual Tulip Time Festival.

Festive parades and performances take place, with everyone kitted out in traditional attire. At this time of year, its gorgeous gardens and parks are full of thousands of beautiful blooming tulips for visitors.

Pikes Peak State Park!

Located where the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers meet, Pikes Peak State Park is set in the northeast of the state, on the border with Wisconsin. A popular place to visit in Iowa, it will delight nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts with its stunning scenery and outstanding natural beauty. Founded in 1936, it is named after the peak that dominates the state park with its hulking presence.

From atop of its lofty peak, visitors can enjoy phenomenal views of the Mississippi River, with verdant forests and wild waters stretching as far as the eye can see. Hidden away among the diverse landscapes and wilderness of the park are some splendid hiking trails and scenic, secluded campsites. While wandering along its paths, visitors will pass through lush woods and peaceful valleys, with the twinkling Bridal Veil Falls one of its most pleasant and photographed features.
