In October 2024, Patrice and Kevin McCabe, visited Ames with their production crew to record an episode for RV There Yet?, the popular show on Discovery. That Ames / Boone County episode premiered nationally in April 2025.
The episode covers the two-county region and highlights include camping at Ledges State Park, biking on the High Trestle Trail, the Rail Explorers experience in Boone, butterflies at Reiman Gardens, shopping in Downtown Ames, and tailgating at Jack Trice Stadium with Cornbred and the Iowa State University Marching Band.
The Ames Regional Economic Alliance was excited to spearhead this project in collaboration with Discover Ames, Visit Boone County, and the RV There Yet? team.
