27 JUNE 2019 - CENTRAL CITY, IOWA: MOLLY DOWNEY, 6, and her calf, Rainbow Dash at the Kiddie Calf Show at the Linn County Fair. Participants dressed the calves up to reflect "Fairadise," the theme of the 2019 Linn County Fair. Summer is county fair season in Iowa. Most of Iowa’s 99 counties host their county fairs before the Iowa State Fair, August 8-18 this year. The Linn County Fair runs June 26 - 30. The first county fair in Linn County was in 1855. The fair provides opportunities for 4-H members, FFA members and the youth of Linn County to showcase their accomplishments and talents and provide activities, entertainment and learning opportunities to the diverse citizens of Linn County and guests.
