Iowan of the Day Nominations

Do you know an Iowan with a passion for volunteering? How about someone who takes every opportunity to go the extra mile for those in need? If so, this is an incredible opportunity to recognize this shining star!

The Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation and Cookies Food Products are looking for nominations for the 2011 Iowan of the Day program. The program, which began in 1997, was created to honor those individuals who exemplify the Iowa spirit of dedication, hard work and generosity.

Ten winners will be named Iowans of the Day and each will have a special day of recognition at the 2011 Iowa State Fair. Perks include an introduction on the Anne & Bill Riley Stage, $200 cash, a golf cart for the day, VIP parking, gate admission for four, hotel accommodations at the Des Moines Downtown Marriott, four tickets to the evening Grandstand event and one year subscriptions to Iowan and Iowa Gardening magazines.

For nomination forms, please stop by your local post office, library, or contact Drew at the Blue Ribbon Foundation at (800) 450-3732. You can also download nomination forms at www.blueribbonfoundation.org/iotd.html. The deadline for all nominations is July 1. Nominees from 2008, 2009 and 2010 will also be reconsidered. All nominees must currently reside in Iowa.

Recognize your outstanding Iowan with a day of honor at the 2011 Iowa State Fair! Send in your nominations today!
