Call for Volunteers: Iowa State Fair
[link removed]

We are planning a big rally-style gathering at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, August 17 starting at noon Central Time. The gathering will feature lunch for any fairgoers who stop by, a series of remarks from potential 2028 presidential hopefuls, and a townhall Q&A to hear and discuss Iowans' concerns.

We are still looking for Principles First volunteers to help us blanket the fairgrounds Sunday morning to spread the word about the gathering and direct fairgoers to the pavilion.

This will be a great way to visit the Iowa State Fair with Principles Firsters from around the country and to interact with Iowa voters on important public issues.

If you are interested in helping, please email Brittany Martinez at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Volunteering%20at%20Iowa%20State%20Fair&body=Count%20me%20in!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20help%20volunteer%20at%20the%20Iowa%20State%20Fair%20on%20Sunday%2C%20August%2017.) . If you have emailed her, you should be hearing back shortly.
