OK, not really. (Note: From Hulu. May not work in Firefox.)
“At the Tama County Fair, I sampled a local dessert specialty: a 3-pound stick of butter coated with Crisco, then deep-fried, dipped into a mixture of olive oil and Ranch dressing and covered with butterscotch frosting. Only later did I learn that this was not an Iowa delicacy, and that I had been the victim of a prank by a local branch of the College Democrats. Still, even as I lay on a cot in a first aid tent, vomiting convulsively, I had to say to myself: ‘I wouldn’t trade this for the world.'”
This loses some of its humor when you know that the Tama County Fair is a 4H-only event and available food comes from either the Lions Club in the main building or the candy/freeze-pop trailer. Do the College Democrats at UNI count as a local branch? Regardless, this is, by far, the most prominent appearance of the Tama County Fair in anything.
Also getting name-dropped: Polk, Cass, and Humboldt.
