I am Macy Evans and I am excited to be serving as the 2018 Public Relations Intern for the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation. I was born and raised on a generational family farm, which sparked my passion for agriculture. Currently, I am a freshman at Iowa State University double majoring in agriculture and life sciences education & agriculture and society.

At Iowa State University, I serve as the public relations co-chair for the 2018 Bacon Expo, as well as the philanthropy chair for Block and Bridle. I am a writer in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences professional magazine, CALS Connections. I am a member of Chi Omega sorority and CALS ambassadors. Within my community, I organize and facilitate a 5K obstacle course run with all proceeds going towards the Union County Fairgrounds and their capital campaign, Building on Tradition.

I have never missed an Iowa State Fair. It continues to be my favorite part of the summer. Whether I am competing with my best friend in a sweetcorn eating contest, broadcasting live about my Fair experiences on our local radio show, exhibiting my livestock, enjoying concerts, free entertainment, shopping with my mom or sampling every snack possible with my dad, I can confidently say that those memories that I have made will last a lifetime.

As I begin this experience, my passion for agriculture and my pride for the great Iowa State Fair continues to grow. I look forward to being a part of the planning team and behind the scenes action as the 2018 Iowa State Fair is quickly approaching!
