(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa State Fair C-E-O Gary Slater said Thursday it was a hard 14 months waiting for the start of this year’s fair.
Slater says they weren’t sure we would be back — but said they were resilient, resourceful, and are back. Governor Kim Reynolds was cheered when she welcomed people at the opening ceremonies.
Reynolds says she expects huge crowds during the 11-day run.
