🌟 The Chamber is excited to announce that our design (by the amazing Tacy Cummings) was selected as one of this year's statue participants at the Iowa State Fair!! There is a contest happening for the top design, but either way, we are over the moon that the town of Humeston is going to be represented!! 🌽

📍 Location and more information to come after the results are in 🤞 but here is some information from the fair website on the statues:
Each year, the concrete statues are a popular favorite with unique designs and true artistry. Professionals and novice competitions highlight the people and places in Iowa through the sculptures each year.

Past sculptures have included an elephant, pig, cow, horse, ice cream cone, Ferris wheel, state of Iowa, Iowa State Fair logo, blue ribbon and camper.

The 2024 sculpture is a bushel basket of corn and an ear of corn. Very symbolic of agriculture and iconic to the importance of corn in Iowa.”

Wish us luck 🤩

Void the pig says thanks for the watermelon but the forks have proven to not be hoof friendly. 🤣

Next year we will be sure to have more trash cans for forks around the animal containers. Big thanks for everyone keeping the park clean and not making a mess with watermelon. The animals have all been enjoying their own Watermelon Day at the farm. 🍉🍉
