Event Details
Smokey Bear turns 80 on August 9. Smokey Bear started helping the US Forest Service in 1944 to inform and remind the public about the importance of fire safety. Smokey's message of only you can help prevent wildfires is as relevant and urgent today as it was in 1944.
Help us celebrate Smokey's 80th birthday at the Iowa State Fair with a special Storytime with Rosie Reader and Smokey Bear!
Time: 1pm and 4pm
Location: DNR building located inside the Iowa State Fairgrounds
