This past Monday I was asked to be in the 4th of July Parade in Exira, Iowa. Gary VanAernam, a member of the Iowa State Fairboard, has always had the Iowa State Fair Queen in the parade. It was great to see Gary and his wife Judy, they are a wonderful couple. Exira is in West Central Iowa just off of highway 71. The population of Exira is around 900 people, for the parade this small town attracts 9 to 10 thousand people. Can you say AWESOME. It was the 146th year for the parade to take place. To see that many people line the streets and be in a small area all at the same time was unforgettable. It is so neat to see such a great tradition keep going and having alot of support year after year. I enjoyed representing the Iowa State Fair in the parade, it was truly an honor to be asked and apart of such a huge event.
I hope all of you had a fantastic 4th of July on Monday and were able to celebrate it with family, friends, and loved ones.
God Bless,
2010 Iowa State Fair Queen
