Volunteer Opportunity

Save the Date: This year’s Corndog Kickoff will be Saturday, July 8 in the William C. Knapp Varied Industries Building.

The most important aspect of the Corndog Kickoff is the auction. Since the event started in 1997, the Blue Ribbon Foundation has been able to offer attendees many unique packages for bidding. Funds raised from the Corndog Kickoff go right back into Fairgrounds renovation projects – including those small bathroom upgrades, sidewalk repairs and even large scale improvements for Fairgoers.

This is where you come in! The Blue Ribbon Foundation would like your help to generate new ideas for one-of-kind packages and turn those ideas into reality. We are holding a Corndog Kickoff Auction Committee Meeting on Thursday, March 23 at 5:30 p.m. at our office. If you love the Iowa State Fair and are comfortable talking to people, this would be an easy task for you. Robin Taylor, Blue Ribbon Foundation Assistant Director, will be holding the meeting to highlight more about the Corndog Kickoff Auction Committee.

If you have the slightest interested in volunteering, you are encouraged to attend. Robin will explain the committee and answer any of your questions. If you have some spare time and wondering how to get involved in the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s fundraising efforts, this is a good place to start. The Corndog Kickoff couldn’t happen without individuals who volunteer. We hope you find volunteering with us a rewarding experience.

Please email Robin or call 515-262-3111 Ext. 373 for more details about the Corndog Kickoff Auction Committee Meeting.
