UIU Salutes.. the Butter Cow!

Concrete "Tribute" Cows

To celebrate 100 years of the Butter Cow, the Iowa State Fair will display a limited number of concrete “tribute” cows throughout the grounds during the Fair and is giving the public the chance to paint them and win prizes valued at more than $300 for their designs. Jenna, a UIU art student, was selected to represent UIU. Jenna’s cow, “The Quilted Cow,” will be on display throughout the Fair in Section 2 of the Fairgrounds, which is located between the Varied Industries building and the Pavilion. See a map and a complete list of the concrete cow exhibits.

Once again Upper Iowa will be at the Iowa State Fair. The fair runs from August 11 - 21 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.

Visit our booth, #762-764, in the Varied Industries Building (across from the Grandstand). The UIU booth is open daily 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. during the fair.
