You’re definitely on the right track as they both adhere to the State Fair theme.

That cow might not be too hard to make with synthetic foam.

Love the idea of a butter cow trophy

All of these ideas are great, but I just might sell marked up Kum & Go merch out of the back of my SUV after I go out in 54 and throw my bag into Ioway Creek.

I’m not opposed to a trash can lid sized pork tenderloin sandwich as a trophy.

We may need to make this a walking only event just to keep away the heart attacks from the beer and 30,000 calories eaten and the fair.

Seems light, but walking in Iowa for my fat ass that time of year might just cause a heart attack anyway.

I agree with @midwestgolfbum, walking Veenker and Waveland in August is a no go for me. Who am I kidding, I never walk Waveland & would need cool weather & a lot of initiative to walk Veenker.

Walking 36 friday may be rough if its hot and humid. And walking Waveland potentially hung over could result in calling some dinosaurs.
I can always just blame my knee.

I’ll be happy to be on the trophy committee. Too many artist friends to be able to make such a thing.
This kinda opens the discussion up for fees, lodging services for out-of-towners, shuttles or transpo, merch, and of course some form of philanthropy.
I know we all wanna come and play with fellow refugees with a spot or two open for the NIT, but… we gotta #getinvolved in some charity work, particularly if we are looking at more than two-to-three dozen entrants.
I’m on trophy committee.

Yep, there has been background discussion on charity component to send to our prez for nit review. Once we have it zeroed in it will be put up here.

I’ve been workshopping a few logos for the future Iowa Roost (tentantively Goldfinch Golf Club, please go check out the Roll Call: Iowa posts. Feedback is very helpful.)
While twiddling away on those, I figured I’d throw some possible content for this event out there.
I liked the butter cow statue trophy idea so I ran with that in the name as I am not sure one was ever decided?
