Iowa State Fair
- Thread starter HoopsTournament
- Start date
Stomp grapes at the Wine Experience. The guy that mc's the stomping name is Mike. Act like you've known him for years
The Iowa State Fair is also proof positive this is the Cyclone state, otherwise it would just be called The Iowa Fair.

Has anybody been to vote at the corn poll booth? Last I heard trump was dominating that.
The first reply is the best one. Walk the WHOLE fairgrounds, or at least as much as you can. There is SO much stuff to do/see there, you'll discover stuff you didn't even realized interested you. Even if it looks potentially boring, go in and look around. What's the worst that can happen? You might have to decide to move on to the next thing. Plus, the more you walk around, the more you can people watch. You've probably never felt so good about yourself as you do after witnessing the hoards roaming the grounds. Cuz, yikes. 
Favorite foods: pork chop on a stick, fried oreos. The Italian grinder sandwiches are pretty good also.

I understand your sentiment, but I guess we have open borders. I mean we can't keep the hawk trolls off of here, let alone out of the fair.
Wow I think I got scammed, I got charged $5 when I went to the fertilizer kiosk and they gave me their product on a stick.
I have never spent much time on midway. So many free events & things to see that you don't need to go on the rides
Weekends are tough..it will be very crowded. Find the schedule of events ahead of time and decide if any of them are of interest to you. This will help you somewhat plan your day out so you aren't constantly in a state of wondering around and trying to figure out what to do next...only to miss something that would have been of interest to you....or you arrive too late to get a decent seat. You'll appreciate the time to sit down and relax.
Some of my favs: See the biggest boar, and biggest pig. Go to Elweel Family Building and look at the ugliest Cake winners (some pretty gross ones) and other food related awards, see butter cow/butter Star Trek display and the honey bees (Ag Building), walk through Varied Industry Bldg - get some free stuff, EAT.

It's called the Bruce Rastetter 4-H Exhibits Building.
And you are correct. It is amazing. There are some pretty cool ISU themed exhibits, too.
