The Iowa State Fair Is One of the Best ...

Get to stand next to a 2000 lbs. BULL

Get to milk a cow

Get to see Iowa's biggest PIG at 1800 lbs.

Get to see mullets, city folk, hicks, cowboys, entertainers and farm animals all coexist in the same place

Can eat anything fried including deep fried twinkies, fried pineapple, fried ice cream, fried potatoes, fried snickers, fried oreos, fried....

Can eat almost anything on a stick including pork chops, pickles, shrimp, deep friend foods (double wammy), salad, ice cream, chocolate cake, key lime pie,...

Can see some great performers from the state of Iowa in their annual talent search such as cloggers, callers, singers, dancers, instrumentalists

Can catch some great singers in concert such as Journey, Kelly Clarkson, Matt Nathienson, Eric Hutchison, etc.

Ride some amazing carnival rides, get wet on water rides, bungy jump, ride a potatoe sack down a huge slide, ride a tractor, etc

See some unique showcases including biggest vegetable, weirdest vegetable grown, prettiest flower, best photograph, best bean bag player, farthest lawn chair throw, best cattle call, keep your imagination open

See a life-size cow made out of butter

Know it will be back every year!
