DES MOINES, IA (02/05/2014)(readMedia)-- Any romantic will agree; Ye Old Mill is the perfect place for sweethearts to sneak off and escape the hustle and bustle of the Fair. Show your Valentine how much you love them and the Iowa State Fair with a brick from the Blue Ribbon Foundation near Sweetheart Lane on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Sweetheart Lane, located in front of Ye Old Mill, provides the opportunity for lovers to leave a declaration for millions to see.
"Sweetheart Lane is a perfect place for couples to leave a legacy of their love for one another, as well as for the Fair," said Peter Cownie, Blue Ribbon Foundation Executive Director. "A personal inscription in Sweetheart Lane will help to celebrate a couple's fond Fair memories while preserving the Fairgrounds."
A contribution of $100 purchases a three-line inscription on a brick at Ye Old Mill, or at one of the other 14 brick locations throughout the Fairgrounds. For $125, a brick can be personalized with a heart-shaped graphic, or a logo of your choice. Special Valentine's Day gift cards are available upon request.
