Adams, other counties, cities to advertise on state liquor trucks

Adams and Jackson counties, and Dubuque, Fairfield and Guttenburg have partnered with the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division to design and install images of their communities onto five of the agency’s semitrailers that deliver liquor across the state. The moving billboards are part of the state’s Great Places initiative, which promotes the qualities that make each community unique.
