Iowa Fair

We at Northeast Security Bank are excited for another amazing county fair! This summer be sure to pack your sunscreen and enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities. With everything from 4-H & FFA Shows, to Grandstand Concerts, West Union will be the place to be this July! Be sure you stick to these key fair tricks to get the most out of your Fayette County Fair experience.

 

  1. Check the weather. Ensure you’re dressed properly for the day and bring sunscreen, umbrellas, or sunglasses when necessary.
  2. Stay hydrated. Nothing ruins a great day like a heat related illness. Avoid this issue and drink water throughout the day.
  3. Plan ahead. Check out the fair schedule to see which events peak your family’s interests. You can join in on fun competitions, shows, and exhibitions each and every day of the fair if you like!
  4. Wear comfortable shoes. With countless activities, and plenty of excitement, you’ll want to explore everything the Fayette County Fair has to offer. Be sure your feet can keep up by steering clear of flip flops or heels and stick to walking-friendly shoes!
  5. Soak it all in. The county fair happens only once a year, so savor the moments! Between the kids’ contests, fair food, and incredible shows, you’ll want to remember these days for years to come. Keep your phone and camera on hand to ensure you don’t miss a beat.

 

Whether this your first Fayette County Fair or your 50th, Northeast Security Bank is excited to help you experience it! Plan out your family’s finances before you go, with our convenient Online Banking! Ask us how to get started today.
