First Iowan of the Day nomination

Wow, where has time gone? Next week is finals and also my last week as being a part time intern! The closer we get to August 11, the busier our office gets!

One way were getting more busy is through auction donations for the Corndog Kickoff. It seems as if there is something for everyone, sports tickets for both Cyclones and Hawkeyes, golf rounds all across Iowa and tickets to Knoxville Nationals. We have donations from Thelma's, known for the world's best ice cream sandwiches in my opinion and items from the self-proclaimed "Greatest store in the universe" by Raygun. To add to the list are donations of art, tickets to concerts and tours of breweries. The Corndog Kickoff truly has it all!

To my pleasant surprise, I received my first Iowan of the Day nomination! I have attached an image of the mailing because I am in awe of the beautiful penmanship, handwriting is a lost art for my generation and its the first time I am sad to see it go. Aside from that, its never too early to nominate someone as the Iowan of the Day and I love reading through the applications! It's amazing to see how many communities thrive because of the people in it.

I hope you have all had time to enjoy this beautiful weather, which makes studying for finals that much harder.
