Thank you for your service. You have saved us many steps at both the beginning and end of long days in the past.I’m a Shriner and as a fundraiser we drive golf carts
from parking lots to the gate hauling people for a donation.
If I want to see a big girl sweating in a Garfield tank top I can just go to Denny Arthur's and save myself a ton of money.There’s some positives.
Eye Candy everywhere so wear shades!
Great food!! Turkey legs!
Great beer garden with a lot of variety!
Good music and bands.
Kids love it and will sleep in the next day.
I know several people who camp for the entire fair. It's almost impossible to get a spot because families pass their spots down to the next generation. I truly don't get it.I used to work with a guy who took his vacation and went to the fair every day. He grew up in Des Moines so maybe that had something to do with it but I didn't understand it.
“Like but don’t attend” voters. Did you move away or what’s the story?
I’m not sure that you went to the fair… or you were in the Hog Barn lolIf I want to see a big girl sweating in a Garfield tank top I can just go to Denny Arthur's and save myself a ton of money.

With the annual Iowa State Fair approaching, what are your thoughts on it?
Personally, I dislike it and don't attend. Every 4-5 years I think we "should" go and then get disappointed that it's the same exact crap. When I was in 4H, it wasn't as bad, but I've seen animals before and the Varied Industries building is just a giant TV commercial.
What are your views?
...You could go visit your sister's photos! We're going with Mom and Dad on Sunday, 8/14 for just a bit if you guys want to go.
I can about guarantee the people who b!tch every single year about how everyone is so stupid for loving the fair and how it's a waste of money are the same people who b!tch about the We Will collective. Have a little fun and be fiscally irresponsible every now and then you Dutch b@stards.
The band that showed up 2:30 hours late.No posts to this thread during the actual run of the Fair? Shame
Today was the ISU Marching Band appearance / parade.
They had to wait to be fed - vendor only brought half the food. Kids have been practicing for 1st game all week.The band that showed up 2:30 hours late.
Saw kids in pull things that were like mini campers. Many women pushing strollers who felt having their hand extended way out on it and stretching as far away from it to talk to a friend while leaving maybe a foot to get around them was no big issue.Why do all fat ladies on scooters have yard sticks?
