This Sunday morning at 8 we'll meet on 98.3 WOW-FM here in Des Moines or on your PC...just click here to listen...as Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country comes back at you with issues and information for folks living the rural lifestyle.
We're the only full hour live non-agriculture show in the nation...so?
This week, among a host of other items, we're going to talk about the importance of the traditional county fair. Our guest will be the executive director of the Association of Iowa Fairs, Tom Barns (and maybe we can get Sue Barns to join in to).
So what is so special about the 107 county and regional fairs here in Iowa? How about $209,556,000 in economic impact these fairs have on the state?
Big number and when you consider most of the work is done by volunteers...this could well be the largest volunteer effort in Iowa.
Tom (L) and Sue Barns know their business. They have been leading the association for well over ten years and have hands on experience with their local county fair. This should be interesting and informative.
And...we'll also talk about the most prosperous counties in Iowa! There are many more than you might think. Join us on Sunday morning at 8!
