The first few days it is crazy crowded along with the shuttle buses crammed with people. And that isn't even taking into consideration all the people involved putting the fair together, the food vendors, the farmers bringing their pigs and cows. I love the Iowa State Fair, but it would be disaster.

I planned to go this year if the virus had been controlled. Candidates will not get a chance to campaign there but it was very hot and very crowded. A petri dish for sure.Sad
