Drake University
Day at the Iowa State Fair
Several hundred alumni from across Iowa spent Saturday, August 17 at the Iowa State
Fair as part of "DU the Fair," Drake University's first ever Drake-sponsored
day at the fair.
Drake alumni and friends had fun participating in several different Drake-sponsored
activities throughout the day. Highlights included the distribution of nearly 900
free digital photos of fairgoers in front of Drake backgrounds including Old Main,
Drake Relays and Drake basketball; a booth where prizes were distributed to Drake
supporters and prospective students; a Bulldog Hot Shot contest sponsored by Drake
athletics; music performances by Drake students; storytelling by the School of Education;
a Chemistry Magic Show hosted by Drake's Chemistry Department; a presentation by
a Drake Law professor; drawing for four pairs of Drake athletics tickets; and participation
in the fair's annual Chili Cook Off and Celebrity Mystery Sack Contest.
The evening was capped off with a pre-concert party for Drake Alumni and Friends
at one of the fair's venues. During the party, drawings were held for free "DU
the Fair" t-shirts, water bottles and tickets to the Alicia Keys performance
that evening of the fair.
