With World Pork Expo in full swing, the fairgrounds have been a bit crazy. Coming from a livestock background, events like this get me fired up. I love seeing people from all over the world come to the east side of Des Moines to learn and partake in all the activities the World Pork Expo has to offer. With a large event like this and the State Fair of course, the Fairgrounds use an unbelievable amount of energy.
The saying “time flies when you’re having fun” definitely has a meaning this summer. When working on my projects at the Foundation, I tell myself I have plenty of time, but in reality the summer is going by quickly. We are down to 36 days until the Corndog Kickoff and 69 days until the great Iowa State Fair. It seems like yesterday I was walking in the front doors of our earth home office and we had 95 days until the Fair.
Oink! Oink! There is much excitement going on this week at the Iowa State Fairgrounds as the National Pork Producers Council is hosting the 26th Annual World Pork Expo, which has brought producers from all corners of the world and industry experts to share ideas, exhibit new technologies, and celebrate one of my favorite foods—the “other white meat.” Growing up on a hog farm, I felt a little closer to my home while driving to work this morning.
