Behind the Blue Ribbon Screenings at Fridley Theatres

Can't get enough of the Iowa State Fair? Catch Iowa PBS’s newest documentary, Behind the Blue Ribbon, showing at four Fridley Theatres across Iowa. Tickets are FREE!

Fans of the Iowa State Fair and Iowa PBS can attend this free screening of Behind the Blue Ribbon in Carroll at Carroll 5, Muscatine at Palms 10, Washington at State Theatre and Des Moines at Fleur Cinema and Cafe. The documentary will show Saturday, August 23 at 11 a.m. at all four locations.

Step beyond the Grand Concourse and into the heart of the Iowa State Fair with an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at four people keeping some of its most beloved traditions alive. From early morning load ins with 11-year-old hog farmer Jack Theobald and the high-energy hustle of corn dog concessions led by Eric Campbell, to the artistry of butter sculpting by Sarah Pratt and the big-picture vision of Iowa State Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons, this documentary captures the passion and pride that power Iowa’s biggest celebration during its 11-day run and the preparation that leads up to it.
