A new and improved Iowa Pork Tent unveiled at the Iowa State Fair
The Iowa Pork Producers Association unveiled a big upgrade for an iconic spot at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday.
Iowa leaders, including Governor Kim Reynolds, joined the Iowa Pork Producers at the fairgrounds to cut the ribbon for the new Iowa Pork Tent.
The facility is bigger, and moves the outdoor grill to the east side of the building.
For decades, thousands of Iowans have gotten pork chops served up by political leaders and presidential candidates.
"This is exciting. It's one of the favorite things that I get to do as part of the 11 days that I'm out here at the fair. We encourage anyone that's traveling to be sure and flip some pork chops, highlight how important this industry is to the state and agriculture overall," Governor Kim Reynolds said.
