- **Event Description**: Join Iowa PBS in the Maytag Auditorium on July 29 at 6:30 p.m. for an advance screening of our newest documentary, Behind the Blue Ribbon.

Step beyond the Grand Concourse and into the heart of the Iowa State Fair with an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at four people keeping some of its most beloved traditions alive. From early morning load ins with 11-year-old hog farmer Jack Theobald and the high-energy hustle of corn dog concessions led by Eric Campbell, to the artistry of butter sculpting by Sarah Pratt and the big-picture vision of Iowa State Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons, this documentary captures the passion and pride that power Iowa’s biggest celebration during its 11-day run and the preparation that leads up to it. 

At this premiere screening, we’re bringing the spirit of the fair to life! Enjoy Campbell’s Concessions corn dogs and refreshing lemonade before you find a seat in our auditorium. With themed photo ops and nods to beloved fair traditions, this celebration is the next best thing to being on the fairgrounds yourself. Doors will open at 6 p.m. with the film beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Open captions for the film will be provided. This event is free but registration is required. RSVP for free: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/mem58mp
