For the next week and two days I am back home on vacation in good ol' Des Moines, IA. This is where I grew up and went to school before moving out West. Most Iowans can tell you how big of an event the Iowa State Fair is every year. One of the fairs trademarks is the Butter Cow. However, there have been many other butter sculptures over the years that have graced the fairgrounds. One of which is this Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. I haven't been to the fair in about 10 years, but I will be there tonight with some friends I made at the University of Iowa. It should certainly be a fun time with mass consumptions of unhealthy food. Check back for photos from the event!
These pictures were taken back in 2003, as this was created in honor of Harley-Davidson's 100th Anniversary. How fitting that I am going to visit the grounds on the month of their 110th Anniversary!!
