Rumples beware. Crumples take care. Wrinkles and crinkles can't hide anywhere!  This is one competition where iron truly sharpens iron, and your chances of winning increase as you decrease.  Arrive early as we expect to be bursting at the seams with fans hemmed in for what promises to be a riveting event.  On August 11, 2023, at 6pm some of the fastest irons in the Midwest will descend on the fairgrounds to test their mettle, steamrolling wrinkles, and flattening everything in their path—all in hot pursuit of the title.
