It’s the Iowa State Fair again. The Iowa Fair is what most people think of when they think of state fairs. In fact, the Iowa State Fair served as the model for the movie “State Fair.” Halfway through are the antiques in the large barns, the somewhat exotic food and of course the various barns and tents to judge everything from vegetables and sewing to cows and pigs.
Train wrecks are perhaps one of the most memorable events that have occasionally been featured at the Iowa State Fair. The video below (2:20) gives a brief history and quick look at some train wrecks. If they had one this year, the trains could be “Trump” and “Justice.”
Talk about something dominating the news. Looks like the collision between “Trump” and “Justice” is near. I bet on Justice.
