For the first time since the Iowa County State
Fair began, the fair sold advance tickets this year through Iowa
Powerball Lottery terminals, which added a $1 “convenience fee” on top of the
$7 fee for advance adult admission. The base for sales
from about 235 outlets to 2,000 across the state, the state receives about 40
cents of each dollar spent in the advance sales. About 60% of people form
the fair come from central Iowa, with the rest hailing from 47 states and a
smattering of other countries. This 40 cents per dollar from the advance
sales will be eventually spent/ spread through the community helping the
economy.
