Blue Ribbon Kids Club

Blue Ribbon Kids, the Fair's special club for ages 10 and under, allows children to experience the Fair from a unique perspective. Blue Ribbon Kids members will get a rare glimpse at the heart of the Iowa State Fair and become part of the action during special kids' club activities. Blue Ribbon Kids' Club members not only get a hands-on Fair experience but will receive a birthday card and a quarterly newsletter after signing up.

Weekday Events

Each weekday during the Fair, kids' club members will have the opportunity to participate in seven FREE fun-filled activities. All events start at 10 a.m. at the Kids' Club Tent in the Kids' Zone located just north of Little Hands on the Farm and will last 30-60 minutes. Children can sign up at any Kids' Club event or download the Blue Ribbon Kids membership form, fill it out and bring it to the event. The membership form can also be mailed to Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Kids, PO Box 57130, Des Moines, IA 50317-0003. Blue Ribbon Kids' Club staff will be available at the Kids' Club Tent each weekday from 9-11 a.m. Kids' Club members and those wishing to sign up may start checking in at 9:15 a.m.
