Signs of Spring

They say April showers bring May flowers, and with all the recent rainfall, I hope that is the case!

Signs of Spring are all around us and along with those come the preparation for the summer ahead. Every day that passes is another day closer to the Corndog Kickoff and then the Fair! That means the days are getting busier every day. With only three full weeks until finals week, my schedule is jam packed with final projects and studying to do! Donations are rolling in for the Corndog Kickoff and I am excited for the auction because there are some cool donations! Get excited for some great experiences ahead! I am starting to prepare for the Iowan of the Day so be thinking of an outstanding Iowan in your community that deserves to be the Iowan of the Day and put together their nomination packets.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. for the 97^th Annual Block and Bridle Convention. While on the plane ride there, I sat by a gentleman from Maryland who attended the Iowa State Fair last summer. I was fascinated and so excited to hear him say how much he loved it! That only got me more excited for the Fair and to meet all the people that attend from all around the country!

From writing nomination letters to organizing donations, I am keeping busy! I am anxious for summer to be here and to see the preparation for the Corndog Kickoff and Fair come together. Just about four more weeks until the rest of the interns are in the office and we will be off to the races!
