All-Iowa board rejects raffle at fairground
The All-Iowa fair board voted 9-5 to reject a Ducks Unlimited raffle at the fair to benefit the Dennis Healy Memorial Fund. Legal questions about using the fair name on the permit were raised with opinions from state and county officials. The board approved other fair plans including subsidized tickets for children under 12 via McDonald’s and Hy-Vee, plus track repairs and expanded free entertainment. Five new directors were named: Carl Zobac Larry Statler Tom Novak Harold Primrose and Lee Taylor.
