30th Annual Harkin Steak Fry

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, September 16th, twelve thousand gathered on the Indianola Balloon Field to hear from six of the Democratic candidates running for President of the United States.


Prior to the event in Indianola, my friends and I attended the "Host/Sponsor's" event in Cumming. Here we met up with Rep. Bob Kressig and his wife, Liz, from Cedar Falls. Rep. Kressig has been a real champion for students and public education in the Iowa House of Representatives! Liz, a rock star association leader, is the president of the Support Staff local in Cedar Falls.

Traffic had people entering the Balloon Field tied up for hours. Once we were into the event, it was literally a sea of humanity! It was great fun to run into association members from across the state as well as to connect with state and federal elected officials.

Special guests of Senator Harkin included: Senator Joe Biden, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Chris Dodd, Senator John Edwards, Senator Barack Obama, and Governor Bill Richardson.
