If you thought it was a little crowded at The Iowa State Fair, you were right.
The Fair says an unofficial 1,170,375 people visited the fair during its 11-day run on the eastside of Des Moines. That topped the previous record, set last year, by about 40,000 people.
The busiest day was Saturday, Aug. 10, when 122,111 visited the fair.
Attendance exceeded 100,000 on nine of the fair’s 11 days.
