Iowa Corn Day at the Iowa State Fair
VISIT US FOR IOWA CORN DAY AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 18!
Iowa Corn is proud to sponsor Iowa Corn Day on Friday, August 18 at the Iowa State Fair. Join in the celebration by participating in our scavenger hunt! All you have to do is locate the seven stations scattered throughout the fairgrounds. Be sure to have an Iowa Corn team member punch your card after you complete each station and once you have all 7 completed, return to the Iowa Corn booth on the Grand Concourse to receive a $5 coupon to enjoy a corn-fed treat at our commodity partner food stands. Redeemable at the Iowa Pork Tent, Turkey Grill, Cattlemen's Beef Quarters and Pork Chop-on-a-Stick Stands.
