The 25th Annual Corndog Kickoff Benefit Auction and Fair Food Grazing Party is on Saturday, July 9. The Blue Ribbon Foundation recognizes all sorts of foods as “Fair-favorites” and is excited to bring back Dining Delights to the Auction this year.

 

Dining Delights is a restaurant gift card activity where attendees can donate $20 and receive a mystery gift card to a restaurant across the state. This activity, although new, has quickly become a favorite among auction attendees with over 140 gift cards selling out within an hour last year!

 

Breweries, bakeries, cafes, pubs, steakhouses, sports bars, or any restaurant you can think of should consider donating a gift card. I can almost taste the sweet and savory meals from my favorite restaurant and smell the goodies from my favorite bakery. Can you? This activity is a great way to represent your restaurant and showcase your favorite places to eat across Iowa J

 

We are currently seeking donations with a value of $25 or higher to any restaurant across the state. If you would like your favorite restaurant to be featured, consider asking that restaurant to donate a gift card to support the Blue Ribbon Foundation and the historic Iowa State Fairgrounds. Or, support two businesses at once by purchasing a gift card and donating it to the Foundation to use in Dining Delights!

 

Thank you so much to the people and restaurants that have already donated. Some restaurant gift cards you might see include: Peace Tree Brewing Co., Drake Diner, Jethro’s, 7 Stone Pizzeria, and Baratta’s… We’d love to add your favorite restaurant to our list!
