GOP had nothing to do with it. Iowa State Fairgrounds space is contracted out years in advance. A few small spaces are held open for last minute favors, but large helicopter space? No way. The Iowa State Fair is a really big deal in Iowa. Not much like it except the Minnesota State Fair.

Last year we considered driving from Texas to the Minnesota State Fair. We were going to rent an RV trailer. For some reason we decided against it. I think we just decided that we could find all the fried food we can eat a lot closer to home.

I’d still like to go someday. And from the sound of it I’d enjoy the Iowa State Fair, too.

I finally went to the Texas State Fair last year, or the year before, and it sucks. Right after we left Big Tex caught on fire. I swear I didn’t do it.

All we saw were a few food joints and cars, cars, cars. And the carnival rides cost a fortune.

My mistake....thought I’d read something about the state GOP chair, on this. Thanks.

It would have been a lot bigger deal if they had given him space.
