FREE ENTERTAINMENT
One of the Best things about the IOWA STATE FAIR is all the
FREE ENTERTAINMENT
The Oak Ridge Boys where here the First Night Of The Fair and everyone I talked to said they were awsome. But the Oak Ridge Boys are not the only Free Act at the fair this week.
So I thought I would let you know other great acts that will be here tonight and the rest of the week.
Tonight Aug. 15th
Josh Kelly Country Singer KCCI Stage 8pm
All Star Weekend Disney Rock Anne & Bill Riley Stage 8pm
Confederate Railroad Country Budweiser Tent 7:30 & 9:30
Hairball (Crowd Favorite will be packed) 80's Cover Band Susan Knapp Stage 7:30 & 9:30 both shows
are usually different. They dress in like the artist of the 80's and sing their songs and they do an awsome job. We watch them every year!! Whoot whoot!!

FORD

You have to sign up at this little booth to get a Blue Wrist Band You pretty much have to be 18 or older to participate but they will let you sign your childs name up with yours to get the give aways except the cash.
But you must have a Blue Wrist Band (or you stand in line for nothing)
You Can Spin the Wheel, Go though an Audio Seminar and Play Skeet Ball and you will
walk away with a Free (Earth) Bag, Post It Notes and A Ford Mini Flashlight. The Flashlight actually has a Ford Symbol on the light when you turn it on. Pretty Cool.
I will warn you there is no shade at the The Ford Stand so if the lines are long you may warm up a bit.
Freebies!!
Odds and Ends
Go under the Grandstands and visit the Markets and get a free spoonful of Ice Cream

Local Celebrities at the Fair!!
Stop at the Elwell Family Food Center
Robin Thomas Tarbell
Grand Champion
if you stop in this building you will find Native Centervillians Robin & Molly Thomas along with her Mom Olive Tarbel (Molly's Grandma) with tons of baked, canned and cooked foods loaded with Blue, Red White and Purple Ribbons. I always love to go and look at all their winnings. These ladies I believe hold the record for Ribbons at the Iowa State Fair. Good Job Ladies Way to represent Centerville!!
One last thing
I have been asked where the Pancake Day Cow is located
Well we found it with two ladies taking there pictures sitting on it.
They where also trying to see if they could take the Crown Off To Wear in the pictures. Good job to the ladies that painted it and made the Crown "NOT" removable.
You Can find this Pancake Day Cow on the South West Corner of the NEW horse arena
accross from the 4H Building.
Great Job Centerville Art Students!!
Well off to the Fair I have to spend the day The Zmoleks...so I am sure there will be lots to report!!
