Trees for the Fair

Some of the best things about our Iowa State Fair are the big trees, pretty flowers, and the overall Iowa landscape. Join the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s beautifying environment campaign! Help restore and preserve the greenery on the Fairgrounds by contributing to Trees for the Fair program. There are two available levels to participate in, the first includes a $100 donation for the upkeep and enhancement of trees on the Fairgrounds. With this, you will receive an engraved, personalized nameplate on a plaque in the Robert G. Horner and Sheri Avis Horner Service Center. The second level is a $1,000 donation; these funds will help to plant and care for a large tree on the Fairgrounds. Along with the tree, a cast bronze plaque with a personalized inscription will be placed in the ground at the base of your tree. These Legacy Trees will be approximately 3-4 inches in diameter and are selected from a variety of Sugar Maple, Sycamore and Oak Trees.

Shine On

Would you like to shine your light on your love for the Iowa State Fair? With a commemorative lamp post you can do just this. By purchasing a lamp post, you provide a gift to be enjoyed by all Fairgoers while supporting the overall renovation and preservation of the Fairgrounds. This program has two different levels. A $750 donation will provide a single globe lamp post to be located throughout the fairgrounds. A $500 donation will offer a lamp post to be located north of gate 15. A personalized plaque with your designated inscription will be placed on the lamp post.
