Mary's Famous LeClaire Store...

Can you figure out, from this "inside" picture -- what Mary's favorite LeClaire business is all about??
Here she is -- walking in -- is it ringing any bells yet?

That's right -- it's the Kernel Cody's Popcorn Shop. Is it coming back to you yet?

THAT'S RIGHT -- President Obama's visit to this shop last summer was big news. Well, it was big news in LeClaire, Iowa at least...

So Mary had to buy some of this unique popcorn to take home for her husband, Doug...it would have been SO MUCH FUN to get a picture of Mary, coming out the same door as President Obama...with two bags of popcorn...

But I did get a picture of her inside the store -- buying her popcorn...

She decided on the "LeClaire Mix"...
Which, allegedly, is the same variety that President Obama bought for the crew on his bus...
Did Doug enjoy the popcorn, Mary?

  1. Yes, both Doug and I enjoyed the popcorn! I managed to get it back to
    Minnesota without opening the bag...it's just a little tacky to give a food
    gift you've already opened and consumed in part. The popcorn stop was at the end of another great visit to Iowa. Thanks, Rita, for your hospitality!

  2. You guys crack me up! Once you open the bag you have to eat it all or you'll be busted by the 'better half'. Ask me how I know this!! Next time, buy two.
