Iowa State Fair 2025 – Fair Sweet Fair. Dr. Tice has worked with the Iowa State Fair Queens for 15+ years. It is truly an hour to be up close and personal with 102 of Iowa’s most gifted young people. Within the time frame of an hour, the queens are taught how to sit and stand, having good posture while balancing a tiara and sash, and walking in a long gown with grace and strength. The heavy hitting topics are table manners, the four tenants of manners and being a good human. All 102 queens were inducted into Etiquette Iowa’s Table Team.
Congratulations to Riah Schrage of Grundy County for being crowned the 2025 Iowa State Fair Queen.
