Happy Friday!
The Iowa State Fairgrounds saw extra traffic this week as people from across the United States and world attended the World Pork Expo. The Fairgrounds make a great location for this large event as producers, professionals, and guests come together to learn, network, and explore opportunities within the pork industry.
The Fairgrounds is busy all year-round, hosting popular events like the World Pork Expo, Central Iowa Railroad Open House and NSR/NJSA Exposition Swine Show & Sale when the Iowa State Fair is not in session. One event you won’t want to miss is the Goodguys Car Show, taking place July 3–5. From one-of-a-kind classic cars and fireworks to patriotic celebrations honoring America’s 250th birthday, this event offers something for the whole family.
The Blue Ribbon Foundation's work helps ensure that the Fairgrounds remain pristine and continue receiving the renovations needed to host these great events. You can become a part of this mission today! The Foundation has various giving programs available including Back the Barns, Buy a Brick, Corndog Kickoff, Trees for the Fair, and more!
