Today marks day number two of an Iowa tradition, the State Fair. According to the Fair’s website, “Fair Fever is contagious and only a prescription of Fair food, games, rides, competition, and over-the top entertainment will cure it.”
The fair season is a time to celebrate with delicious food. As you travel to and from the big event, buckling up is a little move that can earn you a blue ribbon in safety. It only takes two seconds to click your belt. So no matter where you are going or how long your trip make sure you are buckling every trip, every seat, every time.
