The Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center represents the future of the Iowa State Fairgrounds. This facility, built to accommodate a variety of different events, is a venue of which all Iowans can be proud. From the beautiful barn quilts displayed on the massive brick exterior to the overall functionality of the facility, the Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center is a true landmark for the state of Iowa.

Impacting the western approach to the facility is a timeless granite pathway. Leave your personal legacy on an engraved 8" x 8" granite paver for $500.

To purchase a granite paver, please use our secure online order form or download and print the brochure.


Another opportunity for Fair-goers to permanently display their Fair connection is through an engraved seat plaque. A number of seats will be available to place a personally inscribed plaque on the back of a seat, at a cost of $250. (Purchasing a seat plaque does not reserve the seat for events.)

To purchase a seat plaque, please use our secure online order form or download and print the brochure.

The deadline to have your granite paver or seat plaque placed for the Iowa State Fair is March 31.
