Geography Bee champion I’m standing
right
the wall junior high in West Des Moines
Iowa camera visit Iowa here are some
things I suggest you do behind me is the
Iowa State Capitol opened in 1884 it is
the only 5 dome capital in the nation
and it is unique for this feature and
the fact that the main dome is covered
in 23-karat gold the work is exquisite
and as the story goes that is because
the architect hired day laborers and
demanded perfection every afternoon he
checked the laborers work and if the job
was not done perfectly the workers would
not be paid for the day’s work regarding
the gold on the dome the gold is pounded
so thin that have condensed it would be
no bigger than the size of a baseball if
you follow politics you may also know
that every four years Iowa hosts the
first in the nation caucuses all the
major news corporation’s bait their base
their operations out of this capital
