University of Iowa officials are calling upon university of faculty, staff, and alumni for volunteers at the Iowa State Fair.

Volunteers attending the fair, which will run in Des Moines from Aug. 7-17, will apply temporary tattoos, distribute football posters, athletics schedules, as well as visit with thousands of fairgoers who will see the UI’s exhibit.

The university’s booth will be located in the air-conditioned Varied Industries Building at the fairgrounds, with volunteers working four-hour shifts.
