(ABC 6 News) — In Iowa, a new record has been added to the history books as the state fair reached the highest attendance in its history.

The 11-day fair saw 1.18 million people this year surpassing the previous high of 1.17 million in 2019.

The Grandstand performances drew thousands into the fair each night, and if you happened to miss out on the fun this year, next year’s fair is scheduled for August 7th through August 17th.
