Everyone knows Iowa is the Hawkeye State. That could not be more noticeable than at the Iowa State Fair, where Hawkeye sightings are almost as common as food on a stick and large farm animals. Iowa Now spent part of Friday scouring the fairgrounds looking for the familiar black and gold of our Hawkeyes.

The fair runs through Aug. 18. If you make it to Des Moines for the fair, stop by the University of Iowa booth for a free football poster and Tigerhawk tattoo.
