The Blue Ribbon Foundation created the T.A.G. team to bring like-minded, Fair-loving individuals together to make the Iowa State Fairgrounds an even better place. It was a simple concept; Together we can Accomplish our Goals. So far, T.A.G. Team members have supported the renovation of the east restroom in the Livestock Pavilion, upgraded lighting in the Agriculture Building, repaired the west exterior of Pioneer Hall and exterior doors of the Agriculture Building.
Money raised from the 2024 T.A.G. Team will be used to renovate Ye Old Mill.
The improvements include new sheathing, fascia and architectural shingles on the roof of the main building. The side walls of the tunnel will be stripped and repaired where necessary, and new lap siding is planned for both sides. The whole structure will be repainted and the “inner” portion of the tunnel that is visible only from the Sky Glider will get a new rock landscape.
We reached our goal! Thank you to the 100 donors that joined our T.A.G. Team!
