Multi Media Center Slated For State Fair Beef Show
The Iowa State fair approves an 80000 renovation to build a 1000 seat air conditioned multi media center in the old auction ring at Des Moines fairgrounds. Bids are open for the project to debut during the Liberty Bell Angus progeny test show. Kenneth Falk notes the center will let spectators view carcasses production data and presentations on a six by 32 foot screen via closed circuit TV. He says the center will glamorize new carcass classes and attract interest from teachers and students. Falk expects criticism as the fair drops its regular beef carcass show for the Angus event but argues the facility enhances objectivity and educational value.
