Who Took Iowa Gold Back to Marion at Iowa State Fair?

Now that the dust has settled over the Iowa State Fair and its 10 days of competitions have ended, we can look at who from Marion came out victorious.

The Iowa State Fair hosted dozens of competitions in seemingly every conceivable category — ranging from Children’s Joke Telling to Most Unusual Vegetable.

I’ve poured over pages and pages of results and I’ve compiled the Marion winners in a list, just for you.

Do you know someone who won but is not listed? Let us know in the comments and we’ll add them, and if you have any pictures, add them to the story.
