It was a little rainy for this morning’s start of the Iowa State Fair, but huge crowds still came out to see us there and entered our contests for $100 cash prizes and prize packages to the Lady Antebellum concert Aug. 16 at the State Fair Grandstand.
In the end, eleven Iowans and one Wisconsin visitor to the State Fair won the prizes we were giving away this morning – 10 prizes of $100 each and the two Lady Antebellum prize packages.
Things I learned today:
1. It’s REALLY dark on the Fairgrounds at 5 a.m., but with a little help from smartphone light apps, people were able to see well enough to fill out their contest entries! 2. Lottery rain ponchos are very popular when dark clouds are overhead. A little mist coming down makes them an even hotter item. 3. Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls definitely were today’s breakfast choice for a lot of State Fair visitors! Now you’re hungry, huh? 4. No matter the weather, we Iowans remain a friendly bunch, and we smile through just about anything. A good attitude makes everything better!
