University of Iowa Seeks Volunteers for State Fair Booth
Iowa Ag Connection - 07/12/2018

The University of Iowa's State Fair Working Group seeks volunteers for the UI booth at the Iowa State Fair Aug. 9--19 in Des Moines. The working group appreciates all of the support it has received in past years and is eager to have help from faculty and staff again this year.

We are excited to bring exhibitors and volunteers from across the University of Iowa campus to Des Moines, and the Hawk Shop will have space for merchandise.

Volunteers are needed to greet and visit with the thousands of attendees who come through the exhibit. Volunteers apply temporary tattoos; distribute football posters and athletic schedules; hand out reusable bags, pencils and buttons; and share news about the great things happening on campus.

All shifts are four hours each:

9 a.m.--1 p.m.

1--5 p.m.

5--9 p.m.

Each volunteer receives fair admission, a parking pass, and a University of Iowa T-shirt.

For more information, and to sign up for a shift, go to the UI State Fair website or directly to the volunteer sign-up page.

The signup period closes July 13 to ensure the working group delivers everything to volunteers in time for the State Fair's kickoff.
