However, if your choices don't work into your Iowa State Fair-going schedule, just look around the fairgrounds and you're sure to find some free entertainment that will be of interest to you. And don't forget - people watching is one of the best of the Iowa State Fair entertainments. It is free, except for the lemonade or food on a stick that you may be chowing down while sitting back and relaxing on one of the many donated benches for weary Iowa State Fair visitors.
