In its first stop in a nine-day barnstorming tour across Iowa, King Corn’s dynamic trio pulled into the little town of Algona (population 5,478) to screen the film at the old Algona Theater — now converted to the palm-fronded indoor golf center, Berte’s Back Nine.
The snow was blowing and the roads were slick, but Algona greeted us with unsurpassed Midwestern hospitality: hot kielbasa soup from a local sausage maker, cold drinks at Berte’s bar, and a turnout of about thirty local farmers, townspeople, and a hearty contingent of — who knew? — Barack Obama supporters. Best of all, they liked us!
