State fair planners seek ISU historical objects

Is there a university historical artifact or curiosity sitting on your office shelf or perhaps tucked away in the basement of your building?

If so, officials who are planning the university's state fair exhibit would like to hear from you. As part of the year-long sesquicentennial celebration, the state fair exhibit in the Varied Industries Building this August will recount the 150-year history of Iowa State.

To round out the exhibit, planners are looking for interesting objects that could be on display.

If you've got a historical object that may fit the bill, send an e-mail to university marketing director Carole Custer (cacuste@iastate.edu) describing the item and its dimensions.
