If any area residents are looking for some fun this weekend, there is a unique event going on in Greenfield that may interest some.

Greenfield Chamber/Main Street is hosting “Iowa Unplugged” tomorrow evening and all day Saturday, and executive director Stacey Hall explains what it’s all about.

“The ‘Iowa Unplugged’ is held on the National Day of Unplugging.  It’s the only one in Iowa, and it really encourages people to get off their digital devices, whether it is game boxes or cell phones or computers, and get back to some basic fun and enjoy people.”

Greenfield Chamber/Main Street received a grant of more than $3,000 from Travel Iowa to be able to host “Iowa Unplugged” this weekend, and the festivities in Greenfield make up one of just two approved unplugged events in the midwest.  The other takes place in Chicago.

Hall says the event embodies “the essence of the Greenfield community.”

“We have a very quaint square.  We have a beautiful little town, and we thought we really had a lot of assets here that would compliment getting out and about and enjoying people.  So, I think it says a lot about our innovation and our creativity and just trying to do something new and different.”

Activities for “Iowa Unplugged” kick-off at 4:50 tomorrow evening.  Saturday festivities begin at 9am and run all the way until 9pm.

The National Day of Unplugging lasts from sundown tomorrow until sundown Saturday.
