I saw Bob Dylan there, in 2001 by windsofchanges

No disrespect to Iowa, I’m not a state fair kind of gal. If anything, Iowa’s kicked Illinois’ and Missouri’s ass, on account of the butter cow.

It was a good excuse to go somewhere I otherwise wouldn’t have. Dylan played an almost all acoustic show. I was on the rail. Good times : )

State Fair by Voosk

This is as Iowan as it gets! Every Midwestern stereotype you can think of is embodied here. Dress for HOT temperatures, and bring a big appetite, because there is tasty fattening food everywhere. Lots of fun!

A lifer! by spluuugirl

I am 36 years old and I have only missed the Iowa State Fair one year that I can remember. It has always been a “father-daughter” event in my family. The one year I did not go was the summer my son was born, it was too hot to take him at such a young age. I tried to sneak out of the house with him though!

Must see and do on a yearly basis!!!!
