Harrison from "Pawn Stars" visits Winterset Saturday

WINTERSET—This Saturday, Winterset will get a little taste of Las Vegas when Rick Harrison, the star of the History Channel’s hit TV Show “Pawn Stars,” makes a visit to the Northside Cafe from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The cafe is located at 61 E. Jefferson St. in Winterset.

Harrison, a renowned history buff, should find himself at home in the historic cafe, but the business at hand on this visit will not be his usual appraising of antiques and relics.

The focus of this trip will be something else the Northside Cafe is no stranger to—presidential politics.

Harrison has endorsed Republican Senator Marco Rubio for president, and will be on a two-day swing through Iowa to both tell his story as a small business owner, and to discuss why he believes Senator Rubio is the right choice for President.

“Pawn Stars” first aired on The History Channel in 2009 and went on to become its highest rated show. Attendees will be able to meet and talk to Harrison, and will also have the opportunity to get autographs and pictures.

“We are very excited to welcome a celebrity like Rick Harrison to our Cafe,” said Scott Valencia, owner and Union County resident. “And doing it as part of the democratic process that makes this country great, makes it that much better!”

The event is free to attend, though people are being asked to RSVP in advance by either email to Iowa@MarcoRubio.com or by calling 515-635-4716.
