When it comes to the Fair, there are so many great things to do. We all have a difficult time deciding what new foods we want to try, what concerts we want to see, or what games we should play. However, there is one event that you can’t miss…Bingo on Grand Avenue!

No matter what age you are, Bingo is always a great way to have fun and show your competitive spirit. At the 2018 Fair the Blue Ribbon Foundation debuted our first Bingo event. With a wonderful turnout last year, we can easily say that Bingo has become a #FairFavorite. We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Bingo again this year on Grand Avenue sponsored by the Better Business Bureau; make sure to bring your friends and family for a great time! 

All Fairgoers are encouraged to participate in Bingo that will be taking place on Wednesday, August 14 from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. To play, participants donate $1 per card for each round of the game. Winners will receive 50 percent of the total earnings from each game. This is a great chance to have a seat, play a game of Bingo, win prize money, and support the renovation and preservation of the Iowa State Fairgrounds. 

The Blue Ribbon Foundation recognizes the importance of the Iowa State Fair, as this is an event that any Iowan can take great pride in. When Fairgoers are walking throughout the Fairgrounds, we want to ensure they have a chance to see the beautiful and historic buildings that have been on the Fairgrounds since its inception, and the new buildings that contribute to our success. As you attend the Fair this year, we encourage you to look at all the buildings and see the renovations and updates that are being made to our facilities. These updates would not be possible without the many generous donations and support we receive from longtime Fair-lovers.

The Iowa State Fair is an internationally acclaimed event and the single largest event in the state of Iowa. Every donation matters, and every dollar raised provides us with an opportunity to support this historical event.  Please join us for Bingo on the Grand Concourse to join in our mission of renovating and preserving our beloved Fairgrounds. We can’t wait to see you there!
