Iowa State Fair – West March 28
Mary Bixby
All those Iowans, and those who would like to be, look forward with 20/20 vision toward the new year. My provider network is exploding with requests from you for information regarding the Iowa State Fair-West Party. So, here’s the scoop straight from the butter cow’s mouth.
The 17th annual Iowa Party will be held on the SunBird patio from 4 to 8 p.m. on March 19. If you wish, now is a good time to shop for something you would like to contribute to the annual raffle, which helps support the gathering of friends from the heartland. Put this event on your calendar and plan to attend. The roasted chicken and delicious Iowa potluck dishes will reward you. See you at the Iowa State Fair-West.
Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania Gather March 7
Hey, all you snowbirds from Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, don’t forget to mark Saturday, March 7, on your calendars. That is the date to celebrate our three great states. We will try to arrange for nicer weather than we had last year. We don’t mind a little chilly, but gale force winds were ridiculous. It will be held on the patio, as in the past, and we will have more information in the February SunBird News. We hope to see a lot of you there and possibly many more new faces. @
