The Iowa state fair fairgrounds covers over 445 acres, 160 acres are campsites. Annual attractions include the world famous Butter Cow sculpted by Iowan Sarah Pratt, the 10 acre Midway and its double Ferris wheel, one of the world's largest livestock shows, the country's largest state fair foods department (more than 900 classes), the state's largest arts show, over 600 exhibitors and more than 50 foods on-a-stick. The Fair has many free entertainment acts on the grounds or performing on one of the five free stages. The acts include a wide range of musical and artistic talent from local gospel choirs and dance troupes to Grammy-winning artists and nationally-recognized entertainers. With all this entertainment it’s the main driving power to get people to the fair. When people go the fair they spend money further helping the economy grow and develop.
