An executive with the Iowa State Fair is encouraging Iowans to be vaccinated against COVID before they come to the Fair. State Fair CEO Gary Slater told KCCI getting your vaccination before the Fair in August, will help out with all scheduled events, and should give you some peace of mind. Slater said the fairgrounds won’t be able to promise social distancing at all exhibits.
Last year’s Iowa State Fair was canceled due to the pandemic. Slater called the decision to cancel the event one of the hardest decisions and worst day he’s had to face. The 2021 Iowa State Fair is scheduled for Aug. 12 to Aug. 22.

(Radio Iowa) – Inmates in Iowa prisons who’ve been vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to have in-person visitors, starting next month. Iowa Department of Corrections director Beth Skinner describes it as a slow opening. “Our visitation rooms will probably be cut in half in terms of the number of people that will be able to visit,” Skinner says. “…Video visitation will continue. We also believe that’s a great tool for people who can’t drive to the prisons and want to have connections with their loved ones.”
Inmates who are allowed to have visitors, but who have not agreed to get a Covid shot, will be able to continue using the video system for visitations according to Cord Overton, a spokesman for the agency. “Those video visits are free of charge to the inmates right now,” Overton says. Prison officials plan to set up a scheduling system. “So that folks that are going to come visit a particular inmate can know that time that a visit is going to take place and it caps the visits at a certain length,” Overton says, “so that we can make sure those that want to have visits can get them done in a given week on visiting day.”
State officials say nearly 59 percent of the inmates in Iowa prisons are fully vaccinated. “Once the word is kind of spread around the prisons about the visiting restriction that you need to be vaccinated in order to have visitors at that time, that I would expect to see additional inmates that do decide to get vaccinated if they’ve been kind of on the fence about that,” Overton says. Prison visitors will not be required to show they’ve gotten a Covid shot. Studies have found family visits reduced depression among female and juvenile inmates. In-person visits also were found to reduce rule-breaking within the prison AND reduced recidivism once an inmate was paroled.
Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports just one arrest took place over the past week. At around 9:18-a.m. Tuesday (June 1st), Greenfield Police arrested 29-year-old Veronica Lee Elwood, of Greenfield, in connection with incidents that took place in the Greenfield Fareway Store parking lot. She faced charges that include Criminal Mischief in the 4th Degree (for allegedly causing damage in the range of $300-$700), and Trespassing w/damage amounting to over $300.
Authorities allege Elwood knowingly and intentionally used a baseball bat to hit and break out the window of a truck and entered the property without justification, after being notified in writing she was not allowed on the property, and caused damage to a vehicle.
Elwood was being held in the Adair County Jail, Sunday, on a $1,000 cash or surety bond.
