It's 92 degrees outside and the humidity is shooting up so it must be Iowa State Fair time. That time of year when anything and everything you can eat is served on a stick, deep fat fried style. The fair is a unique cultural experience and one you wouldn't want to miss if you find yourself in the area. The fair kicks off on Wednesday evening with a parade through downtown Des Moines and runs for 10 days. About 100,000 attend each day so it's a huge event for the state and community. If someone were to ask me what are some of the things that characterize the fair, I would say, dirt track racing with unusual cars, a giant slide, pigs, cows and sheep, the long sky ride over the fairgrounds, food contests, big tractors, the Midway full of rides, games of chance and lots of people, nightly fireworks, a butter cow, lots of food vendors, music from the grandstand where popular musicians perform. It is a sight to see!

Corporate Image is located a short distance from the fair on the east side of Des Moines. We occupy 2 new buildings in an area that has been redeveloped into an attractive business park. One of the distinguishing features of our company location is the beautiful landscaping around our buildings that gives it a campus like feel with all of the trees, grasses and plants. If you make it as far as the fair, please stop by and say hello. We'd love to meet you and show you how we make the best 3-ring binders, folders and boxes in the industry!
