On Saturday, Aug. 10, Roxanne Cogil of Jamaica was honored as Iowan of the Day at the Iowa State Fair. Since 1997, the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation has been selecting one person for this honor each day of the Iowa State Fair.
Cogil volunteers in a variety of local events and organizations in and around Jamaica. She also serves with the Epilepsy Foundation and Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council.
Cogil’s honor came on a picture-perfect day at the fair, which resulted in a new all-time, single-day attendance record.
