The run of the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines has begun. The tradition of an Iowa summer and a tale of Iowa escapism. Day one will honor heroes, collected canned foods for the needy and offer loads of entertainment. The Grandstand feature is called for King and Country. Last night the parade drew a large crowd and took a different pathway. The Grand Avenue bridge in Des Moines is being reconstructed and the parade went down Walnut from the State Capitol.
