It is a fun fair!


The Iowa Fair is renowned for its many attractions and for its food. From a cow made out of butter to corn on the cob, and everything else deep-fried, there are so many things to see, eat, and experience that some go to stay. Our church has a few fair campers (Hello Tarvins and Porters! - am I missing someone?). We also have a sizeable representation in various competitions. Szuchs and Vaughns are among the fair champions every year. We are all familiar with their musical talent, but did you know of Amanda's cookies, Ava's stitching, and Olivia's crochet? Plus, Ava is almost a celebrity after a career of giving interviews on both radio and TV. You should be asking for her autograph😀! Here are some of their prizes so far:
