These are a Few of my Favorite Things!

Wow! Where has the time gone? Only eight days and a few more hours until the Iowa State Fair! Our office is buzzing this week as final preparations are underway.

One of the biggest tasks we are focusing on is merchandise. If you are looking to support the renovation and preservation of the Iowa State Fairgrounds through the Blue Ribbon Foundation, then make sure you pick up your merchandise at this year’s Fair. We have general State Fair merchandise as well as merchandise with this year’s “Fair Tour” logo.

With such a large selection of merchandise, it can be hard to decide what to purchase. A few of my favorites for the year can be seen in the picture below. We have some awesome hats that I can’t wait to flaunt as the Fair approaches! We also have a cool slap koozie that wraps around cans to display this year’s theme. Don’t forget the Isabel Bloom Blue Ribbon piece, as well as the collectible piggy banks and bells.

There you have it, a few of my favorite Iowa State Fair merchandise items. Visit our various locations throughout the Fairgrounds during your visit or check out the online store starting September 7th to make additional purchases. See you for an unforgettable “Fair Tour” August 13^th through the 23^rd at the Iowa State Fair!
