DES MOINES, IA - The deadline is fast approaching for the 2007 Iowan of the Day program! Iowan of the Day, sponsored by the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation and Cookies Food Products, honors ten of Iowa's most dedicated volunteers each year at the Iowa State Fair.
The Blue Ribbon Foundation is still looking for Iowans who have made a significant contribution to their communities while exemplifying the values of our state-integrity, dependability, sense of community and a strong work ethic. With your help, the Blue Ribbon Foundation can find the newest stars to stand alongside the 100 previous winners at the 2007 Iowa State Fair.
Iowan of the Day winners will receive their own day of recognition during the Fair complete with an introduction on the Bill Riley Stage, VIP parking, gate admission, use of the Iowan of the Day golf cart and Grandstand show tickets for the evening of their award day. In addition, all winners will receive $200 in cash, accommodations at the Des Moines Marriott Hotel and one-year subscriptions to Iowan Magazine and Iowa Gardening.
Help us say thank you to those who give so much to our state! To obtain a nomination form, stop by your local library or post office or call the Blue Ribbon Foundation at 1-800-450-3732. You may also download the form at www.blueribbonfoundation.org. All nominees must currently reside in Iowa.
The Blue Ribbon Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Since 1993, the Foundation has generated more than $60 million for renovations and improvements to the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
