1. The Iowa State Fair (America's Favorite Fair!!) We have gone to the Fair every year since 2003! It is so much FUN!! Seriously, the biggest, best fair ever.
Highlights include:
- High Divers
- Sea Lions/ Tiger shows
- Fried ANYTHING on a stick
- Enormous animals
- The art building - WOW
- llama shows
- horse shows
- famous butter cow (and last year a butter Harry Potter!)
2. Pufferbilly Days. Our town is very proud of their train heritage. Pufferbilly Days is like a week long party.
3. Endless Summer Parades. There are parades for everything out here. They all have a TON of candy too. So much that by the end of the parade, unopened candy litters the streets and nobody wants it!
4. The Iowa Caucus. It has been interesting to see the political process happening in Iowa. We get so much attention because of the early Caucus here. We met with Mitt Romney several times. Everyone on the political spectrum was here in our small town campaigning at some point. I suppose we won't really miss this that much, but it was neat to experience it as much as we did. Here's Miss K telling Governor Romney she is 1 year old.
