With the Fair a short 27 days away, preparations are in full swing here on the Fairgrounds! With the Corndog Kickoff behind us, the attention shifts to setting up and preparing for the Fair. Yesterday was a key day in that process. We spent the day placing the new engraved bricks around the Fairgrounds! As one of our most popular programs, this was quite the task. From the Campgrounds to the Swine Barn, bricks were placed to honor loved ones, achievements, and celebrations. Yesterday we also got set up to place other recognitions around the Fairgrounds! The tree plaques are here and will be installed shortly, and the light post plaques are also ready to be installed.

There are many ways to honor your loved ones on the Fairgrounds. If you’d like to learn more about our giving programs check out our page dedicated to the programs! You’re sure to find one that suits your interests. We offer donation programs for many different budgets, as well as in many locations around the Fairgrounds, so you can find the perfect option for your family member, friend or loved one.

            Thank you to all who gave a donation for one of these programs this past year. We hope you are excited to see your brick, lamp post plaque, tree plaque, or any other type of recognition you may have selected at the Iowa State Fair this year!
