JOHNSTON, IOWA (July 25, 2019) — Share the Fair with Iowa Public Television to be a part of IPTV's coverage of the 2019 Iowa State Fair! For 49 years, IPTV has brought Fair highlights statewide and will once again provide extensive coverage on-air and online. Join the conversation on social media using #IPTVFair19. This year's on-air and online coverage begins with the 2019 Iowa State Fair Parade, broadcast statewide and livestreamed on Facebook and Iptv.org on Wednesday, August 7, at 6:15PM.
