Jennifer Dunn, Vice President of the Linn County Fair, has been named the 2024 Fairman of the Year by the Association of Iowa Fairs — the highest honor in the Iowa fair industry.
A passionate lifelong fair advocate, Jennifer has spent over a decade leading with heart and innovation – not only at Linn County Fair but across Iowa and beyond. Her dedication to volunteerism, youth outreach, and fair excellence makes this recognition so well-deserved.
From earning top industry certifications to mentoring future fair leaders and being honored nationally, Jennifer’s impact is deep and wide. She’s also a successful businesswoman, a former collegiate athlete, a sports broadcaster, and even a retired collegiate soccer official.
Tom Barnes, Executive Director of Association of Iowa Fairs says Jennifer represents everything this award stands for—passion, leadership, and a relentless commitment to the fair industry. “Her service to the Linn County Fair and her statewide and national involvement have made a lasting impact.”
Dunn is busy preparing for the 2025 Linn County Fair, which will be taking place June 25th through the 29th in Central City.
