Any romantic will agree; Ye Old Mill is the perfect place for sweethearts to sneak off and escape the hustle and bustle of the Fair. Show your Valentine how much you love them (and the Iowa State Fair) with a brick from the Blue Ribbon Foundation near Sweetheart Lane on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Sweetheart Lane, located in front of Ye Old Mill, provides the opportunity for lovers to leave a declaration for millions to see.
A personal inscription on an engraved brick will help celebrate a couple’s fond Iowa State Fair memories while preserving the Fairgrounds for the next generation.
A contribution of $100 purchases a three-line inscription on a brick at Ye Old Mill, or at one of the other 14 brick locations throughout the Fairgrounds. For $125, a brick can be personalized with a heart-shaped graphic or simple logo of your choice.
For more information about purchasing a Sweetheart brick for Valentine’s Day, or for any other occasion, visit the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s website.
All brick orders must be postmarked by March 31 to be placed prior to the 2025 Iowa State Fair.
