Attendance at the Iowa State Fair has been unusually high, and visitors jam the Iowa State University exhibit in the Varied Industries Building, as pictured here on the first day of the fair. Visitors are invited to try "Catch the Cyclone Vision," which offers a selection of 360-degree videos highlighting unique campus experiences they enjoy on their smartphones. Visitors also can take their picture with graduation Cy, and pick up an ISU football poster, schedule card or free waterless temporary Cyclone tattoo. The fair runs through Sunday, Aug. 18.
