Do you think butter is only living up to its full potential when it is in the form of a cow?

Are you a carnival game master?

Have you been to every booth in the Varied Industries Building?

Then we know you can't wait for the 2026 Iowa State Fair.  Unfortunately, it's still a little more than six months away.

Never fear, the Black Hawks have the solution to quash any State Fair withdrawal you might be feeling this winter, because Friday, January 23rd is Halfway to the Iowa State Fair Night.

Look for State Fair-themed games and prizes throughout the evening.  You might see a few State Fair celebrities around the rink.  Nick Sorensen provides our answer to "grandstand entertainment" with live music in the Coors Light Cold Zone before the game.  And on the ice, Morgan Brady delivers big hits with more power than a tractor pull.

It's also Country Night, presented by Texas Roadhouse.  You'll hear popular country hits all throughout the evening, and fans 21+ can take advantage of $4 Busch Light Tallboys through the end of the 1st period.

And you win if the temperature is above 32 degrees.  Or if it's below 32 degrees.  That's because on Over/Under Night, you get a discount on your tickets for Saturday's rematch if it's cold, or if it's a warm night, we'll take a little bit extra off Busch Light through the first intermission.

Don't wait until August to Get In the Spirit.  Join us for Halfway to the Iowa State Fair Night on Friday, January 23rd with tickets from the Domino's Black Hawks Box Office at (319) 291-7680 or online at tickets.waterlooblackhawks.com.
