IOWA STATE FAIR 2011 MORE FAIR FUN!!

AS PROMISED I TOLD YOU I WOULD POST WHERE TO FIND THE FREE TICKET IN THE DES MOINES REGISTER  FOR FREE CHILD ADMISSION  AND I FOUND ITS IN THE
                                                NATION AND WORLD SECTION PAGE 6AA

It reads FREE Child Admission Thursday Aug. 18, 2011 8AM to NOON
so there is a time limit and it is for ages 6 to 11 ($4.00 VALUE)
Ages 5 and Under FREE


Another Great Idea I Found out Yesturday is you can buy this Red Cup
At these Tenderloin stands for $8.50 and Refill them for FREE through the end of the
IOWA STATE FAIR!!
This is a pretty great deal if you are going to be here more than 1 or 2 days  or drink a lot of soda. A large family may want to share a drink considering your first drink cost is appx
 $3.00 or More.


These are what the stands look like and you can see in the windows the Red Cups hanging.  Pretty nice looking cup too with a handle.  On the window you can read the Free REfills information. 





Okay on Day 3 of the Fair Was Drake University Day They had a Big Blown Up Bulldog

You Recieved a FREE Drake Universtiy Bag, Koozie and Beads and 80's Style Sunglasses and Could take a picture with The DRAKE BULLDOG.  My Friend Becky loves Bulldogs so she was nice enough to take a picture with him. She can go online and upload the FREE PICTURE.  That was only on Aug. 13, 2011  But Everyday at the Fair is called a Spcial Day and Yesturday was DRAKE UNIVERSITY DAY!!
Today Sunday Aug 14th and is  DES MOINES UNIVERSITY DAY
so I am sure they will have a large display giving out Free Merchandise as well.
I will post later what Special days are coming up at the Fair

FREE ENTERTAINMENT


All over the Iowa State Fair there is Tons of Free Entertainmet especially giving Bands a place to get their names out there.  Elizabeth and I ran into this band yesturday called the  KNOBS playing at the Susan Knapp stage.
We enjoy listening to Free Music at the State Fair you can pick up a Free Iowa State Fair Daily Guide at all the Informations booths to tell you when and where what is going on daily at the Fair.
We always walk through the gate and pick one of these up to plan the day.
Nightly there is also Free Entertainment at all the stages
Tonight you can find
Jason Michael Carroll
Martin Sexton
The Johnny Holm Band
and Cofederate Railroad

Unfortunately they have cancelled the Sugarland Concert for tonight due to the Tragic accident at the Indiana State Fair.  There is Rumor they are still going to try to get them here before the end of the fair.  I will post and let you know!!


We always have to see the Big Boar and the Big Bull every year at the Fair
