Happy Wednesday!
Are you counting down the days until the Iowa State Fair? I know I am, and with only 57 days, the excitement keeps building!
The Fair food may be unforgettable, but it doesn't last forever. If you're looking for a keepsake that will last longer than the two minutes of your favorite corndog, check out our merchandise and apparel. T-shirts, pins, jewerly, and much more, it's a great way to take home a piece of the Fair with you!
Three 2026 items are available to preorder now, including:
- Iowa State Fair Plaque: “As American as…” here
- Pottery: Snack Bowl here
- And the 23rd edition of the State Fair cookbook here
Be sure to order before the Fair, as the online store closes during August and will reopen in September with any remaining merchandise available after the Fair!
During the Fair, our 2026 merchandise may be purchased at any merchandise booth. Locations include:
- Cattle Barn
- Museum
- Elwell Family Food Center
- Agriculture Building
- Service Center
