51 Days

I think if I asked you all to raise your hands if you're excited for the fair, I'd get an overwhelming response. We are less than 2 months away- 51 days to be exact! Whether you are looking forward to the food on a stick, the people watching or the entertainment, there is something there for everyone to enjoy. As we get to 4 weeks..3 weeks...2 weeks...1 week away, I know I am going to be on the edge of my seat! I will get the chance to meet and host the 10 chosen Iowan's of the Day, assist with our merchandise booths and help out wherever it is needed. It is going to be a lot of work- but rewarding nonetheless! 

Speaking of Iowan of the Day, you still have a little over 2 weeks left to nominate any shining star in your community. One of these days they might have to extend the duration of the fair just so we can choose more than ten :) I've been nothing but impressed with the nominations that have been trickling in. The nominations that stand out the most are the ones that tell a story. I've realized that these people don't just volunteer, they make it a lifestyle. I look forward to reviewing the rest until July 1!!

But in the meantime- preparation for the Corndog Kickoff on July 13 is in full force. Soon we will be mailing out the auction booklet and tickets that have already been ordered. There are so many different working parts to an event of this nature. Whether it be the donations themselves, compiling the auction booklet, mailing out tickets, making the decorations or setting up for the auction itself- it will soon come together as what we hope to be another record breaking year!

I hope everyone has a great Monday! Until next time.
