The Iowa State Fair Podcast wraps up its special three-part live series from the Animal Learning Center with more of the people, traditions and stories that make the Fair one of Iowa’s most beloved events.
Maxwell and Amy visit with legendary butter sculptor Sarah Pratt, who shares the story behind this year’s Jersey butter cow and special Pepsi Clock sculpture, the surprising age of the butter she works with, and even how those creations are dismantled after the Fair.
Then, Lydia Miller takes us inside the Cultural Center, from a record number of dollhouse entries to arts, crafts, photography, kids’ activities and new creative competitions inspiring the next generation of Fair exhibitors.
Next, meet Geoffrey Grimes, the self-taught craftsman behind nearly 100 Adirondack chairs now giving Fairgoers a comfortable place to relax—including one enormous 10-foot photo-op chair!
Finally, Iowa State Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons stops by to reflect on record-setting attendance, weather challenges, free entertainment, the renovated Horse Barn, new transportation options and plans to make the Fair even more comfortable and pedestrian-friendly.
It’s a fun, behind-the-scenes finale celebrating the creativity, community and people who make the Iowa State Fair truly special.
