2012 IOWA STATE FAIR

New at the fair Brand-spanking new rides, attractions and, of course, food The revamped Expo Hill, located north of the cultural center, offers fairgoers a new entertainment venue.

SPECIAL TO THE REGISTER

1. Opening day festivities

2. The Seven Dwarfs — in butter

3. Expo Hill revamp

Day 1 of the fair kicks off early, at 6 a.m. Thursday. And here’s a bonus: Fairgoers can get in free between 6 and 9 a.m. using a coupon found in this section, or in the Wednesday (Aug. 8) Hy-Vee ad in The Des Moines Register. (One coupon per person; does not include parking.)

We know the famed butter cow, one of Iowa’s most well-known residents, will be on hand at the Iowa State Fair.

But who will be accompanying her inside the Agriculture Building’s 40-degree cooler? Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Happy, Bashful and Grumpy.

Van and Bonnie from 1040 WHO will broadcast live from the Grand Concourse beginning at 5 a.m. There, you’ll also find Iowa’s Healthiest State Initiative activities, including yoga, a healthy breakfast demonstration and more. Opening ceremonies kick off at 8 a.m., followed by Iowa’s largest Zumba class.

The Disney fairy tale celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, and the story has been reintroduced to American pop culture of late, with remakes such as “Mirror, Mirror” and “Snow White and the Huntsman.” The butter sculptures can be viewed each day of the fair between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

The hill north of the Cultural Center, named for Exposition Hall (one of the fair’s original buildings), has undergone an eco-friendly transformation. A unique covered structure offers a new entertainment spot, and solar panels built into the design will provide a portion of the venue’s power. The hill is now the permanent home of MidAmerican Energy’s 130-foot tall wind turbine and education center, as well as several interactive displays during the State Fair.

New at the fair 4. Zipline

5. Chocolate moose

The new zipline, located west of the Jacobson Exhibition Center, offers fairgoers a chance to leap from a 28-foot-tall tower and fly 130 feet across the fairgrounds. Buy tickets in advance and save a few bucks. A two-ticket zip pack is $10 through Wednesday (Aug. 8).

Go to iowastatefair.org.

Another new ride is the Space Roller in the midway. The ride flips, spins and hangs up to 70 feet high in the air.

First, the cow made of butter, a fair staple. Now, a moose made of chocolate.

A life-sized moose sculpture has been crafted by chocolatiers at Chocolaterie Stam, using Dutch chocolate. (Life-sized means this monster measures about 9 feet tall.) The Elwell Family Food Center is its home, alongside the largest fair foods department in the nation, with 893 contests, including 43 new ones, and cooking seminars.

6. AgVenture Discovery Trail

Be ready to soar over the fairgrounds on the new zipline.

2012 IOWA STATE FAIR

New at the fair

New fair foods include one crazy corn dog Of course you’re going to get your pork chop, your turkey leg, your Dippin’ Dots and your bucket of cookies and grinder and foot-long corn dog. But part of the fun of the Iowa State Fair is sampling from the new spread.

At the top of the list this year is the double bacon corn dog, the first menu

item added by longtime vendor Campbell’s Concessions since it introduced the foot-long corn dog about a decade ago.

So what is a double bacon corn dog, you ask? Exactly what it sounds like: Wrap a hot dog in bacon, deepfry it, dip it in “bacon-bitenriched” batter and deep-fry it again.

The bacon-heavy snack is getting lots of buzz and publicity, including nationally, but it’s just one of many new treats to try this year. Here are the rest: Beaverdale Confections S‘mores. Locally handmade marshmallows, Belgian chocolate and Italian pizzelles. Marshmallow flavors: vanilla bean, chocolate, caramel

and peppermint. Located in Shoppers Mart, lower level Grandstand.

Iowa Orchard Crisp.

Homemade peach, apple or cherry crisp, with a crisp brown sugar, oatmeal and cinnamon topping. Located inside the southwest entrance of the Agriculture Building.

2012 IOWA STATE FAIR

Fun (and AC) for the whole family Start with the parade The Iowa State Fair officially begins early Thursday morning, but Wednesday’s parade is the annual kickoff, bringing that fair joy to downtown Des Moines.

Former Iowa State Fair board member Don Greiman will serve as parade marshal. Greiman retired in 2009 after serving for 44 years, and the Blue Ribbon Foundation named him an Iowa State Fair Ambassador in 2011.

The parade is Iowa’s largest, with about 200 floats, animals, vehicles and more. Things start at the Iowa state Capitol complex, and the parade travels west on Grand Avenue to 13th Street. So park your lawn chairs on Grand, but get there early for a prime seat. The parade starts at 6:5 p.m.

Join the Blue Ribbon Kids Club The Blue Ribbon Kids Club is the fair’s special club for

children 10 and younger. Members get a chance to participate in activities just for them as a way to experience the fair.

Each weekday at 2 p.m., members can join in free events at the Kids Club Tent next to Little Hands on the Farm (events last 30-60 minutes). Events include a photo scavenger hunt Friday, Aug. 10, a baby farm animals exhibit Monday, Aug. 13, a T-shirt making craft day Wednesday, Aug. 15, and more.

Members can sign up at any of the kids club events, or download the membership form at iowastatefair.org to bring to an event.

Rastetter 4-H Exhibits Building » Cattle Barn Penningroth Media Center » Maytag Family Theaters » FFA Display Building » The Des Moines Register Service Center » Varied Industries Building » Walnut Center » Ralph H.

And don’t forget the candidates The Des Moines Register will once again host its old-fashioned political soapbox at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, allowing candidates for public office to address fairgoers.

The soapbox is held on the Grand Concourse in front of The Des Moines Register Service Center, and offers an opportunity for the public to meet the candidates, hear their ideas and learn more about the issues.

The setup remains casual: There’s no lectern or formal seating. Candidates often take questions, but it’s at their discretion. Fairgoers strolling the Grand Concourse frequently stop to listen a few minutes and then move on.

Anyone wishing to see the candidates at the soapbox
