And the winners are...

Hello all!

I know it must be strange hearing from me on the blog twice this week, but I just have so much to share. Last week, the committee to select Iowan of the Day winners met. All the applications for the last three years and this year were considered. Every application was worthy of being recognized, but unfortunately we’re limited to just ten winners. After much deliberation, we have our winners. Before I get on to that, I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who nominated someone. I also want to say thank you to all our nominees. Whether you know you were nominated or not, you are the reason Iowa is a great place to live. Thank you for all that you do. The 2015 Iowan of the Day recipients are:

John and Janis Ruan of Des Moines

Jary Quandt of Westside

Richard and Juanita Schillig of Bettendorf

Bret Mace of Estherville

Caroline Lehman of New London

Dennis Carlson of Hampton

Mike Quinlan of Iowa City

Elaine Bohling of Greenfield

Steven Palmer of Urbandale

Shawn Tait of Exline

Don’t forget to swing by the Anne and Bill Riley Stage each day of the Fair to hear more about our winners. Have a great weekend!
