Check Out the Auction Line-Up

Can you believe it? One month until the Corndog Kickoff! In my mind, that means thirty days until I can stuff my face with my Fair food favorites—hot beef sundaes, funnel cakes, and chocolate chip cookies. I’m hungry just thinking about it! Food isn’t the only thing to look forward to next month at the big event. You can check out the entertainment, fireworks, and even catch a ride on the Sky Glider throughout the evening.

If you are anything like me, I’ll jump at any chance to get a small taste of the Iowa State Fair. So don’t forget—buy your tickets now! 

When you do come to the Corndog Kickoff (which I know you will), feel free to browse our awesome auction line-up. You can find highlighted packages under the auction tab on the Blue Ribbon Foundation website. Here are just a couple packages to look for when you arrive!
