The University of Iowa’s State Fair Working Group seeks volunteers for the UI booth at the Iowa State Fair Aug. 10–20 in Des Moines. The working group appreciates all of the support it has received in past years and is eager to have help from faculty and staff again this year.

The general university booth space and the Hawk Shop have been expanded this year, and more University of Iowa exhibitors and volunteers from across campus will be sharing their experiences with fair attendees.

Volunteers are needed to greet and visit with the thousands of people who come through the exhibit. Volunteers apply temporary tattoos; distribute football posters, athletic schedules, and other items; and share news about the great things happening on campus.

All shifts are four hours each:

• 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
• 1–5 p.m.
• 5–9 p.m.

Each volunteer receives fair admission, a parking pass, and a University of Iowa T-shirt.

For more information, and to sign up for a shift, go to the UI State Fair website or directly to the volunteer sign-up page.

The sign-up period closes Friday, July 14, to ensure the working group delivers everything to volunteers in time for the State Fair’s kickoff.
