Creative Inscription

During one Iowa State Fair, I attempted to eat an egg-on-a-stick every day. I think I made it 7 days in a row before I gave up. It was a bold goal and I started out strong but quickly faded. I really should commemorate the experience with an engraved brick at the Agriculture Building. Maybe with the creative inscription:

DREW’S ISF
EGGSTRAVAGANZA
2016

The brick might raise some questions to other Fairgoers but it would definitely make me laugh every time I walked by.

It might be a surprise but this would not be the most unique brick inscription found on the Fairgrounds. In addition to family names, Fair favorites and honoring loved ones, there are plenty of bricks with inscriptions of personal inside jokes.  I’ll receive a unique inscription with a donation and just wonder what the story is behind the text. It’s probably a better memory than me trying to eat all the eggs.

The Iowa State Fair is the holder of special memories for countless generations. Fairgoers can capture these memories when they donate for an engraved brick.

Take a moment to think about your family’s State Fair memories and your special place on the Fairgrounds. Each family has their own.  Save these memories by donating to one of the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s Giving Programs.  You’ll have a special way to remember your Fair experience while at the same time, investing in the future of the historic Fairgrounds.
