	Best of Red Rock Each year locals and visitors vote in the BEST OF RED ROCK contest to identify winners in 55 categories and four TOP 10 lists. Many of these feature FOOD & BEVERAGES. Print off the list of winners and create your own FOODIE ADVENTURE!
	Sweets Here you will find fresh baked breads, flaky Dutch letters, creamy chocolates and tasty pies. We also have great ice cream shops that help make a hot summer day even better.
	Meats Cattle outnumber people in Iowa and one-third of all hogs in the US are raised on an Iowa farm, so it only makes sense if you enjoy pork & beef we have some great finds.
	Sips Locally roast coffee, brewed craft beer and bottled wine can all be found here. The Cellar Peanut Pub was selected as a Top 25 Beer Bar in the US and Peace Tree Brewing Company received a World Beer Cup gold medal for their Blonde Fatale.
	Foodie Events The Pella Tulip Time Festival in May showcases many Dutch favorites at local stands during the event. In early June, Pleasantville hosts the annual PigOut BBQ competition. While in October, you will find Wine Walk in Pella and several farms in southwest Marion County host Farm Crawl. Go to the events section to check out dates for this year!
	Local Restaurants Our locally owned restaurants take great pride in their business. Many of our restaurants use locally grown or made items on their menu. Checkerboard Restaurant in Pleasantville has been awarded the top rural restaurant in Iowa.
