JOHNSTON, Iowa — Iowa Corn Promotion Board® is proud to sponsor Iowa Corn Day at the Iowa State Fair. Fairgoers will have the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt across the fairgrounds while Iowa Corn Growers Association® members will come together for a memorable experience as they flood the fairgrounds in their member t-shirts.
To participate in the Iowa Corn scavenger hunt, fairgoers can spot the seven stations scattered throughout the fairgrounds using the hint card found at the Iowa Corn tent on the Grand Concourse. The scavenger hunt will share the over 4,000 everyday products made from corn. By completing and engaging in the scavenger hunt, participants will earn a $5 coupon to enjoy a corn-fed treat at the Cattlemen’s Beef Quarters, Cluck ‘n Coop, Dairy Goodness Barn, Turkey Grill, Iowa Pork Tent or Pork Chop-on-a-Stick stands.
“The Iowa State Fair brings people of all backgrounds together and encourages us as Iowa corn farmers to have conversations with consumers about the practices we use on the farm to create the over 4,000 every day products made from corn,” said Stan Nelson, Iowa Corn Promotion Board President and a farmer from Middletown, Iowa. “This year we are focused on pumping it up with Unleaded 88 to help promote ethanol at the pump. A cleaner-burning, more sustainable and affordable fuel option for consumers.”
Fairgoers are encouraged to visit the interactive Iowa Corn mobile education trailer on the Grand Concourse. The 40-foot state-of-the-art mobile trailer takes visitors on a multi-media journey and shares how Iowa corn farmers conserve their land while growing corn that’s used for food, feed, fuel and 4,000 other everyday products.
