LO at The Iowa State Fair
In a state that boasts University of Iowa grads Ronald Reagan and Del Donahoo, Iowa is also home to one of the largest fairs in the US. The Iowa State Fair is also known for its several foods on a stick (over 36); new choices this year include Pineapple on a Stick and Salad on a Stick.
