Last Tuesday, the Iowa State Daily hosted our very first Iowa State Dates. We had three couples compete for a free Valentine’s Day package sponsored by Hy-Vee Market Grille, The Loft, Riddle’s Jewelry and Cookies Etc. 

Before the competition, we talked to the couples to learn about how they met and what they like to do with each other.
