Mount Pleasant Seeking Volunteers to Shine at the Iowa State Fair

MOUNT PLEASANT, IOWA – Do you love Mount Pleasant and want to show it off to thousands of fairgoers? Now’s your chance! Organizers are calling on enthusiastic volunteers to help tell the story of Mount Pleasant at the 2025 Iowa State Fair.

Volunteers will be stationed in the air-conditioned Varied Industries Building, where they’ll hand out fun and informative materials, apply temporary tattoos to excited visitors, and share what makes Mount Pleasant one of Iowa’s standout destinations.

Each shift is just three hours long, with four volunteers needed per shift. That means plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the fair before or after working the booth.
