MAGIC SHOWS
They’re fierce, feathered and fantastic, winging their way to the North Iowa Fair in an avian extravaganza that captures the spirit of the wild! Extreme Raptors is the premium wildlife show, featuring birds of prey
like you’ve never seen them before. Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, Owls and more are all cleared for takeoff!
Witness the beauty and charisma that these birds have long symbolized as master falconers and
skilled handlers guide the way.
Proudly sponsored by Cent Credit Union, the mission of the North Iowa Fair's Bill Riley Talent Search is to serve as a developmental platform for young Iowans involved in the performing arts. By maintaining a nurturing and educational environment the Bill Riley Talent Search aims to promote self esteem, self discipline and self confidence. Entry forms are on page 59 of the North Iowa Fair Exhibitors Handbook. For participation details, contact Show Coordinator Leah Arends at 641.529.2930 or leah.arends88@gmail.com.
Join us as we kick off the fair at the Opening Ceremony scheduled for Thursday, July 19th at 5:30pm in the Marion E. Olson Building. Highlights include a special flyover courtesy of Veterans Airlift Command at 5:15pm, before the crowning of 2018's Miss North Iowa Fair, Honored Speaker Regan Banks,
