Day 3: Iowa State Fair Photo Gallery
Lots of popular contests on the first Saturday of the Fair, from our live coverage of the fair queen coronation to the Mr. Legs and Mullet contests. The Livestock Pavilion was bustling with the Governor's Charity Steer Show and the Parade of Champions, both to appear on our nightly show next week. While it was a rainy morning the late afternoon and evening brought sunshine and smiles.
