KWQC is celebrating the people, places, and history that shaped Muscatine County.

Muscatine County’s melon season is approaching, with Mairet Farms preparing fields and planning to open its farm stand on July 1.

After nearly a decade away, Great River Days, a beloved festival will return to the downtown riverfront of Muscatine this summer.

This week we’re shining a light on Muscatine County and the people, places and businesses that make one Muscatine area a literal and figurative sweet spot.
