Day Two: Iowa State Fair Photo Gallery
Day two of the Iowa State Fair is all wrapped up and what a fun-filled day it was. Our crews filmed seven features today that will appear on our nightly show Cowboy Mounted Shooting, Cowgirl Queen, FFA Ushers, FFA Swine, Classic Car Display, Giant Pumpkin Contest and Painting with a Twist. Extra stops around the fairgrounds allowed us to show off the crowds, the rides and fun events like the Best Bagger Contest exclusively for our online audiences!
