Homemakers @ the Iowa State Fair

Why we're a sponsor

Homemakers is gearing up for our second year as a Grand Champion Sponsor, along with our exclusive sponsorship of the Iowa State Fair Grandstand Concert Series.

As an “Iowa Founded, Iowa Proud” company, Homemakers is proud of our ongoing Iowa State Fair partnership. The partnership allows the Homemakers brand to reach hundreds of thousands of Iowans and out-of-state fairgoers that might have otherwise not been introduced to our business. 

As a Grand Champion Sponsor, we have one of the largest booths in the Varied Industries Building, brand placement throughout the fairgrounds, and are the exclusive sponsor of the Grandstand concert series.

Gearing up for the Fair

For our booth setup team, we will load up a few of our delivery trucks on the days prior to the fair’s opening day. For our warehouse team, this part is a breeze. The real work begins with the planning and executing the actual setup of the booth. This will be a multi-day excursion to complete our 20’x80’ booth, the second largest booth in the Varied Industries Building. Floor first, structure second, and beautification third. The vision for this year’s booth is all around bringing inspiration to our visitors, with hints at all we have to offer in our showroom and on homemakers.com. There will be three distinctive sections that represent top trends in various departments.

Fair Friday @ Homemakers

Homemakers hosted Fair Friday where we partnered with the Iowa State Fair, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and Iowa PBS to bring a taste of the fair to you! The event had food, fun, and furry friends, providing the perfect amount of anticipation for the fair. A special appearance was made by Rosetta and Fairfield who took some time away from the Blue Ribbon Foundation to visit us! We hope everyone liked our little preview of the Iowa State Fair. Now on to the real thing. We'll see you at our booth August 11-21!
