Crossing Off Tasks on the Checklist

It’s hard to believe that even though the Corndog Kickoff is under two weeks away, the Blue Ribbon Foundation has already started preparing for the event!

The first task we crossed off our checklist is organizing the garage to take items to the Varied Industries building. Many hands truly do make light work, the task, with over 200 auction packages to prepare for, flew by.

Outstanding Iowan

As I highlight our past Iowan of the Day winners, it is amazing to think how much time and effort these individuals have put in to make our state even better.

This week I chose to highlight a fellow southern Iowan and Seymour High School teacher, Shawn Tait, from Exline, Iowa.

Shawn serves as the prom sponsor for Seymour High and spends her time volunteering with the Boy Scouts soap box derby, serving at Exline Recreation Committee dinners, chaperoning for FFA and being an active member of her church. Shawn was named the Exline Citizen of the Year in 2013.

Blue Ribbon Foundation Welcomes 2016 Public Relations Intern

Hello, I'm Audra Kincart!

Growing up on a farm in southern Iowa, I am ecstatic to be serving this summer as the public relations intern for the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation. From humble beginnings of gathering eggs and trotting through muddy cow lots, my days have transformed to late nights in the library and Cyclone basketball.
