Iowa farmers will be on hand throughout the Fields of Champions celebration to chat about what they do and answer questions about food and farming. Children can obtain a Zone Score Card that will send them through a series of interactive stations to learn about food and farming. Participants will then take the card to The End Zone to register for prizes, including four tickets to the Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets NBA exhibition game on October 16 and Casey’s pizza for a year.
Barnes will be on hand to sign autographs that evening. Additionally, Champions Forever will perform its Spin-tacular basketball show, as seen on the finals of America’s Got Talent.
Iowa Food & Family Project partners helping power the Fields of Champions celebration include the Iowa Beef Industry Council, Iowa Egg Council, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Select Farms, Iowa Soybean Association, Midwest Dairy Association, the Soyfoods Council, Iowa Corn Growers, Iowa Turkey Federation, Feed Energy, United Soybean Board and Iowa Food Bank Association.
The Iowa Food & Family Project (www.iowafoodandfamily.com) celebrates the continuous improvement of Iowa’s farm families and their dedication to providing wholesome food for everyone. It invites Iowans to become better acquainted with the dedicated farmers who grow their food and more confident in today’s agriculture. The Iowa Food & Family Project is funded in part by the soybean, pork, beef, egg, corn, turkey and dairy checkoffs.
