5hr {its moincs ?cgism' NOTHING COMPARES AUGUST 9 - 19, 2018 FAIRS L9 2 ❚ SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, 2018 This Iowa Columnist’s to-do list for her first State Fair Courtney Crowder Reporter Des Moines Register USA TODAY NETWORK It’s been a heck of a first month as the Iowa columnist. Floods decimated Des Moines neighborhoods and tornadoes ripped through warehouses and downtowns in central Iowa. The body of an Iowan lost in a German forest 70 years ago finally came home, and three other veterans’ cremains were laid to rest after sitting on a shelf for more than a decade. Iowa’s first “American Idol” shared the struggles of her newfound fame. And siblings, children and parents of bikers killed while riding talked about the pain of those losses and the healing power of the slowly changing legislative landscape. These are Iowa’s stories. Whether rural, urban or suburban, these are the stories of our family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers. They are the stories of Iowa niceness. They are the stories of offering a helping hand. My tour-de-force of Iowa-ness peaks Aug. 9 when the Iowa State Fair rambles into the Capital City. As I enter my second month of column writing, I look forward to more heartwarming moments, fewer disasters and a least a couple of belly laughs. (The State Fair should be great for that last part.) So here it is, my official to-do list as the Iowa Columnist for the 2018 Iowa State Fair. Join me, won’t you? Take the opening day historical walking tour: A 30-minute guided tour on Iowa State Fair history from 1886 to the present. You got to know where you came from to know where you’re going, right? 8:15 a.m., Aug. 9, starts at the Grand Concourse and ends at the Grandstand for the official State Fair opening ceremonies. Learn about women in ag at the FarmHer display: FarmHer,a Des Moines-based nonprofit, tells the toooften-untold stories of women in agriculture. Visit their display to read stories of the powerful lady bosses feeding America. All day every day in the Agriculture Building. Drink in peace at Fair After Dark: No kids. No strollers. No problem! Hang Fairgoers make their way across the fairgrounds on Aug. 10, 2017, during the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. BRYON HOULGRAVE/THE REGISTER Emilee Hintz of Carlisle touches up her makeup Aug. 11, 2017, during the cowgirl queen competition at the Iowa State Fair.

Since its founding, the State Fair has made highlighting the important work of farm families a cornerstone of its mission. To mark 10 years of the Way We Live Award in 2018, 10 families will receive a prize package for their dedication to agriculture and their strong farm values. Presentations are at 11:30 a.m. every day on the Animal Learning Center Stage. Stitch a few at the State Fair SewIn: Join trained quilters to sew blankets for kids in need. No experience is needed; these master quilters from the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild will teach you everything you need to know. 9 a.m. every day in the Varied Industries Building, South Hallway, Room A. Watch people gorge themselves with sausage: Meet the eater who will take on reigning hot dog guzzling champion Joey Chestnut at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2019. The top male and female finishers in this Iowa qualifiers will automatically gain a chance to take home the mustard belt at this famous Coney Island event! 1 p.m., Aug. 11, at the Susan Knapp Amphitheater. Heckle at the Des Moines Register soapbox: This Register tradition draws the biggest names in politics and the public is welcome to shout out questions and comments. Sort of like Facebook comments — but live. Various times every day at the Service Center. Throw a cow chip: I’m pretty grossed out by the thought of touching a cow chip, but in honor of all those who have come before me (cough, Kyle, cough) I will try my hand at this storied farm pastime. 11 a.m., Aug. 15, Pioneer Hall. Learn about growing up on an Iowa Century Farm and the similarities to Megan McClure, of Bloomfield, takes a bite of a Fair Square at the 2010 Iowa State Fair. The Fair Square, modeled after Rice Krispies Treats, were introduced at that year's fair with a cost of $2. REGISTER FILE PHOTO Laura Ingalls Wilder: Nothing says the State Fair like a lecture! But, seriously, this program promises to give all us prairie-heads an educated peak behind the curtain of the Iowa that the Ingalls once called home. 12:30 p.m., Aug. 16, Pioneer Hall. Watch some kids take on some sheep: That’s right ... Mutton Bustin’! I think this is where those belly laughs are going to come in. 10 a.m., Aug. 17, Livestock Pavilion. Begin my fair food contest take over: Learn the tips and tools of the food contest trade from Pat Berry, a tenured food contest winner. 3 p.m., Aug. 18, Food Center, Judging Room 4.

Plan ahead Winging it is for the birds, especially when you’re taking kids to the Fair. Doing a little bit of homework ahead of time will help ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for them — and for you. Get out your phone and download the Register's Food Finder app and the Iowa State Fair app. Not only will you find the most updated schedule but you’ll also be able to search for buildings, events and vendors once you get to the Fair, and get directions based on your location within the Fairgrounds. The app also includes an aerial view map, which you can use ahead of time to plan your walking route to avoid backtracking or to build in scheduled breaks in air-conditioned buildings, such as the Jacobson Exhibition Building or the Pioneer Livestock Pavilion. The south side of the Varied Industries Building has a wide carpeted hallway which has become a popular spot for families to cool down and rest for a bit. Planning walks when it’s the hottest through places like Pella Plaza, where kids can run through the fountains, or the shady Discovery Garden can also help kids (and parents) from getting crabby. And nursing mothers will want to plan stops at one of two Baby Diaper Changing/ Nursing Stations located in the Animal Learning Center and the Walnut Center, which include rocking chairs and an area for diaper changing that even includes a limited stock of diapers, wipes and instant formula. Planning ahead can help you save money. Get discounted admissions tickets by purchasing them in advance at iowastatefair.org, and while you’re there, check out the savings you can incur by buying a wristband if you’ll be visiting the recently updated Thrill Parks, which are now separated by age group. If you know you want to hit some of those State Fair staples, such as Ye Clydesdales at the Iowa State Fair. SPECIAL TO THE REGISTER Old Mill, Sky Glider or Snakes Alive, look into purchasing the Family Fun Pack and get a $35.50 value for just $20. The Park & Ride can save money as well as the headache of driving into the Fairgrounds. Choose from three different pick-up locations and take a ride for just $2 (half-price if you show your advance admission ticket). Don’t miss the animals Sure, you’ll want to spend time in the Animal Learning Center with the baby animals, but did you know that you can see a whole menagerie of animals throughout the Fair, from reptiles to rabbits performing agility tricks? Before you leave home, create your own “Superlative State Fair Animals” list that the kids can check off. (Superlatives are those -est words, like biggest or smelliest.) Challenge them to find the biggest and the smallest horses (Look for the Clydesdales and miniature horses in the Horse Barn.), the craziest-looking bird in the Pigeon, Poultry and Rabbit Building, the longest fish in the DNR Building, the fattest pig in the Swine Barn and the fluffiest sheep in the Sheep Barn. Take a photo of each and make a keepsake for the kids to remember the trip. Try new foods You certainly can’t go wrong with corn dogs and funnel cakes, but the State Fair has nearly 200 food stands, and 70 different types of food on a stick you can try. Branch out and try something new. What about apple tacos (a favorite of the Ryan and Denise Ramsey family of Grimes last year) at one of the Applishus locations or a honey lemonade from the Iowa Honey Producers Association? (Watch the live bees in the hive while you’re waiting.) And if you’ve never tried the Pork Chop on a Stick from the Iowa Pork Producers, it’s Iowa State Fair CEO Gary Slater’s favorite. Of course, when it’s hot out (which it’s sure to be), nothing beats ice cream. Why not try a peach ice cream cone or shake from Bauder’s (recommended by Glenys Lynch from West Des Moines) or a scoop of cookie dough ice cream from the Midwest Dairy Association at the Dairy Barn. If you’re lucky, you can watch a cow being milked while you’re there! Make sure to stay tuned because this year’s new foods will be announced by the Iowa State Fair on July 17. Venture off the beaten path. The Animal Learning Center is a must-see for families at the Fair because who doesn’t love baby animals? Right outside the Animal Learning Center is Little Hands on the Farm, where kids travel along a path with a gathering basket and learn about agriculture. Connie Harmsen of Osceola said, “Last year our grandkids absolutely loved it.” But don’t just stick to the Kids Zone. You’ll find so many hidden gems if you step off the beaten path. The Patty and Jim Cownie Cultural Center showcases the state’s largest art show, with exhibits from photography to fine arts to woods. Barb Coenen of Creston said, “My kids always loved looking at the tiny houses and miniatures at the Cultural Center.” And don’t overlook the Art Attack in the courtyard, where kids can get creative themselves. Emily DeVries recommends letting kids climb on the machinery grounds south of the Varied Industries Building to blow off some steam. Slater recommends taking kids through the model train museum. “It’s right beside the big slide, and I think sometimes it gets overlooked a little bit,” he said. “The Central Iowa Railroad Club meets here every Tuesday almost all year long and works on the train layout. If you go through it, you’ll just be amazed at what those Central Iowa Railroad guys can do.” Start (or continue) a tradition If you’re a seasoned attendee, chances are you already have your list of things you must do year after year. But if you haven’t yet established your tradition, think about starting one this year. It can be anything, from taking a picture with the biggest boar to choosing your favorite decorated concrete statue (This year, look for about 60 cute concrete pigs in a pen near Little Hands on the Farm!). Emily DeVries has started a tradition with her daughter Cora of purchasing an Iowa State Fair t-shirt each year. “That becomes her favorite thing to wear,” she said. “I love watching her love for the Fair grow. She talks about it all year long.” One of Slater’s favorite things to do is to watch families carry on their traditions. “We have families that go down the big slide together. And that’s their thing that they do every year.

This year, the Fair announces new features and improvements that preserve its history and roots in agriculture education while making a commitment to remain relevant and looking to the future. The Fair has two new events this year, and both center around what state fairs started as: a way to improve agriculture while educating the greater nonag community. Fair After Dark, limited to Fairgoers age 21 and over, is a new event series that offers behind-thescenes tours from 9-11 p.m., two drink tickets and a souvenir pint glass. On Aug. 10, Animals After Dark allows VIP access to the Fair’s newest and cutest baby animals at the Animal Learning Center. Agriculture After Dark, on Aug. 16, admits ticket holders into the Butter Cow cooler and gives them an up-close look at Iowa bees. Both events allow guests to ask questions to learn more about agriculture as well as the goingson of the Fair. Tickets are $20 and are available at etix.com. Farm to Fair, which will take place on Aug. 12, is a chance to bring together farmers and consumers in a “Sunday dinner” format — in fact, the largest dinner table ever set in Iowa, with 500 seats. “State fairs in this whole land started out as an incentive for agricultural farmers to do a better job,” said Iowa State Fair CEO Gary Slater. “For example, if farmers displayed cattle at this year’s fair, they brought better cattle next year and they brought better cattle the year after that because they exchanged ideas with other farmers while they were at the fair or they said, ‘Hey, can we buy a bull from you because you’ve got better cattle than I’ve got and that’ll make my cows better because I’m using better bloodlines.’ This was the theory. That’s ag education, and we’ve carried that through at the Iowa State Fair for 164 years. So Farm To Fair is just a continuation of that in a different way.” Farmers representing all Iowa com- Pentatonix performs at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 13, 2017. The Grandstand area will have just come through an updated transformation when the first concert, Casting Crowns, takes the stage on Aug. 9. KELSEY KREMER/STAFF PHOTO On Aug. 10, Animals After Dark allows VIP access to the Iowa State Fair’s newest and cutest baby animals at the Animal Learning Center. MARK DAVITT/SPECIAL TO THE HERAL modity groups will be spread throughout the dinner table to visit with guests who can ask questions about everything from what a typical day in the life of a farmer looks like to more challenging concerns. “There’ll be questions about GMOs (genetically modified organisms),” Slater said, “there’ll be questions about too much nitrates in our soil, there’ll be questions about herbicides, about orga- nic farming, all these sort of things, and we’re just facilitating those conversations to be had at the dinner table in an effort to promote ag education.” Slater expressed how excited he is about this twist on the farm-to-table dining concept. Although Grandstand concerts are not new to the Iowa State Fair, the Grandstand area itself will have just come through an updated transformation when the first concert, Casting Crowns, takes the stage on Aug. 9. Originally built in 1909, the Grandstand saw its last improvements in 1997, when more than $9 million was spent replacing things like seats, flooring and doors as well as updating electrical and improving accessibility. The historic Grandstand building itself will not be changed, but an additional 4,000 seats will be added as well as a new stage constructed, named the Kum & Go Stage, thanks in part to a $1 million donation from Kyle and Sharon Krause. When the project began in 2016, Slater told the Register that the updated stage was needed in order to keep attracting A-list entertainers, whose shows require bigger sets and increasingly more space. Fans also can look forward to new restrooms with the renovation. Technological changes in the Iowa State Fair this year will also help enhance the experience for visitors, vendors and volunteers. The new Official Iowa State Fair App, available for smartphones, includes everything visitors need to know about the Iowa State Fair in one place, including location-based directions to food vendors and events. Mindy Williamson, marketing director of the Iowa State Fair, said, “You can interact with the App by creating your own daily program for events you don’t want to miss, and you can try foods and rate them for others.” Users can enter exclusive contests and The AgVenture Photo Hunt to win prizes. “If you have the app, you will also receive special incentives and reminders — things you wouldn’t have access to anywhere else,” said Williamson. The Iowa State Fair runs Aug. 9-19. Learn more at iowastatefair.org.
