Fair Scene: Saturday, Aug. 15

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources building contains many works of art made from 10,000 water bottles that came from the donated garbage of a large church’s single day event earlier this summer.  The blue fish is one of four archway installations using 2,400 of those bottles with colored cellophane to bring out the shape.  The DNR will recycle all of this plastic when the Iowa State Fair is over. 8/14/2015 Photo by John Pemble
