Iowa State Fair Sells $100 Bricks to Honor Veterans
The Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation is raising funds for engraved bricks honoring veterans along the Iowa Veterans Memorial Walkway at the fairgrounds in Des Moines. Bricks cost $100 and can carry up to three lines of personalized text; orders received by March 31, 2027, are expected to be installed before that year’s fair. Planned walkway improvements also include lighting and a military flag display, with donations supporting the memorial and preservation of the fairgrounds.
