presented by VSA arts of Iowa Fest

Daily at 11 a.m., 1, 3 & 4:30 p.m. (no 11 a.m. show on August 14)

From Burt, Iowa comes accomplished vocalist Denise Shipler. Showcasing her range of talent from country to gospel, Shipler has released two albums, is a regularly featured performer at the Variety Club telethon and also has entertained internationally with the Variety Club network.

Having a congenital physical condition of missing several of her limbs, Shipler often shares some of her life’s challenges. She has learned to approach that life with gratitude and humor. Her message is that most of us have some kind of disability, visible or invisible, but that we are “more alike than different.”

VSA of Iowa hosts the largest festival of its kind at the Iowa State Fair, now in its 30th year at the Fair.
