Iowa County Fairs Face State Gambling Probe
The state will reward counties with about 150000 annually if fairs ban gambling and liquor sales. Iowa law requires counties to file sworn affidavits with the Department of Agriculture by November 1 confirming gambling and booze were prohibited. Recent surveys by Wallace’s Farmer claim about half of fairs allowed gambling openly, prompting forthcoming affidavits and official scrutiny.
