Munson: Quiet Spots At Fair Whisper Stories Of Unofficial Historians, Kings

September 18, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Concerts 

Welcome to the cruelest Monday of the summer calendar: The garish commotion of our dear Iowa State Fair finished Sunday after 11 impracticable days in that nothing could be too big, too deafening or (especially this year) too buttery.

Now it’s back to the grind of work or school. Farewell to our boisterous daze of hand-dipped corn dogs, diplomatic soapbox pontificating and mutton-busting.

Once once again you contingency sup with forks and spoons and desert our stick-food gluttony.

The fair, though, may be still and contemplative, too, only similar to Bill Campfield.

I met the amicable Campfield this year. I instruct I would have gotten to know him sooner. Since 2003 he has served as superintendent and proprietor “unofficial historian” of the Ralph H. Deets Historical Museum. But Campfield, 79, was innate “not too many blocks” from the fairgrounds. One of his initial summer jobs after high college was selling back-massage gizmos in the Varied Industries Building.

Last week I forsaken in on a short early retirement accepting for Campfield that was as unpretentious as he is. About 60 family, friends and satisfactory officials feted him with commendation and baked sweat bread as he stood next to his wife, Judy.

“You have put your heart and essence in it,” mentioned Gary Slater, the fair’s CEO, adding that “Better inquire Bill” had turn a familiar give up on any subject of satisfactory history.

Campfield’s son, Mike, right away a pharmacist in St. Paul, emitted that his father’s large hours of service at the satisfactory have been “his way of profitable back all those times he snuck beneath the gate” as a kid.

A Japanese lilac is being planted in Campfield’s honor. It’s easy to skip a lilac on the plentiful fairgrounds, but it’s a great thought to step out of the butter cow line once in a whilst to observe such things.

Pick a spot, any spot, on the fairgrounds and you can daub a abounding artery of somebody’s unique, personal story at the fair.

For instance: I was slow on the dais between the Bud Tent and Iowa Pork Tent when I beheld a remembrance plaque, a small 7 inches by 2 1/2 inches, engraved with the name of Dale Harmon, “King of the Fair.”

Why hadn’t I ever listened of the King of the Fair? Why couldn’t I find him in the Register archives?

A couple of phone calls later, I was sitting next to Deb Davis at the horseshoe courts nearby Pioneer Hall, where she took second place this year in women’s horseshoe pitching. She’s a paralegal with the Davis Brown Law Firm in Des Moines. Harmon had been her comparison hermit who taught her to expostulate on the fairgrounds in a 1961 Chevy Biscayne, going ’round and ’round the round expostulate of the one-time Women’s and Children’s Building.

Harmon, who outlayed his vocation with the Iowa Department of Transportation, desired the State Fair. He died in 1997 from lung cancer at age 53. The remembrance dais was updated the subsequent to year by the Blue Ribbon Foundation. Harmon’s family moreover sparse his remains at the Bud Tent; the “triangle” of food vendors between the Administration Building and Agriculture Building; and in the Horse Barn. (Davis and her family foster the story in that a drunk Harmon stopped a absconder equine a year at the satisfactory simply by keeping up his palm in front of the savage and yelling, “Whoa!”)

Harmon always said, “If I win the lottery, no a will ever have to pay to obtain in, and I’ll be the King of the Fair.”

The butter cow of course rated as undisputed aristocrat of this year’s fair, that non-stop with the phenomenon of the centennial butter sculptures. Sunday closed with Janet Jackson at the Grandstand – sister to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who in 2009 valid too argumentative to be respected with a butter likeness.

Who would’ve thought that this year’s divisive cut with a chisel would turn out to be the old-fashioned plantation family decorated atop the new Cy-Hawk Trophy that was showcased – and lambasted – Friday on the Grand Concourse?

Too bad Frank Bruni wasn’t around that day. The op-ed columnist is to New York Times visited the satisfactory the same week end as the Iowa straw check and entertained his supporters on Twitter: “I’ve resolved that if I mount still long enough, someone will deep-fry me.”

Standing still never has been the State Fair’s forte, so let’s peek ahead.

Fair CEO Slater says it might be time to increase a couple more thousand seats to the Grandstand. The Janet Jackson concert didn’t sell together with he had hoped with comparatively pricey $55 and $65 tickets. More seats would give him the adaptableness to ease up on sheet prices.

“I’d similar to to obtain the (Iowa State Fair) Board to enable us to obtain a cabinet going … to spike down the options” is to Grandstand, Slater said.

It’s possible, he added, that all state fairs will downsize their superstar entertainment in the arise of the Aug. 13 Indiana State Fair misfortune – the concert theatre fall in high winds that killed 6 people and led to the termination of Sugarland’s uncover here. If not, enlargement options include cutting the Grandstand follow from one-half mile to three-eighths of a mile to assimilate a incomparable theatre and more seats.

I moreover outlayed time this week end with John Putney, senior manager director of the Blue Ribbon Foundation that given 1993 has helped account the fairgrounds’ transformation. He’s still vehement about the new Iowa State Fair Endowment Fund determined in April by the Legislature and Gov. Terry Branstad that has given his substructure new adaptableness in accepting gifts in certitude for continuing fairgrounds continuance and renovation.

But he moreover pulled a blue felt-tip pen from his slot and began sketching definite plan priorities on a fairgrounds map:

Refurbish the Cultural Center, originally built in 1949 as the 4-H girls’ dorm before it became the fair’s folk art art studio in 1981.

Create a park-like piazza as a highway heading from the Grand Concourse, on the easterly side of the Varied Industries Building, true south to the Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center.

Gut and remodel the Horse Barn so it may be configured for cows together with horses or even 200,000 block feet of open muster space.

Putney programmed to end his satisfactory Sunday night with the annual getting of his foundation’s 30 or so interns and part-time employees. After the Grandstand concert, everyone files in to his RV-and-tent combination at the back the Pioneer Livestock Pavilion to form a round and share their collected satisfactory stories.

“I’ve always felt similar to if our kids didn’t have a rip in their eye that final night, they didn’t have a great fair,” Putney said.

On a more lively note, try not to rip up yourself currently when you noticed that you contingency travel more than 10 yards from your work partition to attain the nearest boiled food vendor.
