Explorer Heritage theme shapes Iowa State Fair plans
The Iowa State Fair under Fulk features the Explorer Heritage theme with a replica fort and stockade wall near the totem, plus the Indian Village retained with added shrubs. Exhibits on early explorers like Lewis and Clark will be shown under the grandstand, flags from the period will fly, and attendance aims to rise above last year’s 519,000 as advance tickets for Lawrence Welk draw strong interest.

Plan for Six Spades slam with heart and trump distribution
Declarer must assume 3-2 trump split and 4-1 heart break. Start by ruffing the club lead, then play hearts to force entries and control trumps. If South ruffs, draw remaining trumps and cash hearts, using dummy for diamond entry. If South does not ruff, win hearts with king and continue, aiming to establish twelve tricks with careful ruffing and entry management.
