Last week, the Des Moines Blue Froggers took an afternoon to romp around the Iowa State Fair—a magical place where absolutely everything edible is deep-fried and served on a stick. Between rounds of craft beer, corndogs, fried pickle dogs, nacho balls, and mini donuts—and one communal stomachache—our team enjoyed a well-deserved day with each other out of the office!

## Meet the Des Moines staff!

*Clockwise from the top left:*

**Tyler Scott**, Marketing Coordinator—Iowa State Cyclones and hockey fanatic. Was applauded by all as he ate a very unhealthy pork sandwich and fries.

**John Campbell**, President—Perpetually in motion. Had to backtrack to find the vendor serving raw cookie dough dipped in chocolate on a stick.

**Ryan Smiley**, Director of Operations—Winner of the “Blue Frog Best Last Name” award. Ate the majority of a large bag of cinnamon mini donuts by himself.

**Micah Hartmann**, Creative Specialist—Our Des Moines writing and graphics dynamo. Loved the fair so much she went back at least two more times (that we know of).

**Kelsey Meyer**, Account Manager—The bubbly personality of our Des Moines bunch. Expertly wrangled everyone together for this photo. Twice.

**Erin Menardi**, Creative Specialist—The baby of the Blue Frog crew. Tried her first fried cheese curd (apparently a requirement for all Iowans) and wasn’t impressed.

**Rhett DePauw**, Creative Manager—Gets upset when other people’s dogs have the same name as his. Ate nearly everything and miraculously didn’t have a heart attack on the spot.

We had a great time enjoying this Iowa tradition. Thanks for sharing it with us!
