(Radio Iowa) - It was mostly fair weather for this year's Iowa State Fair, which wrapped up its 11 day run last (Sunday) night -- and attendance could set a record.

During the first 10 days of the fair, over a million people passed through the gates. Officials say nearly 123-thousand were at the fair on Saturday, August 10th -- a single day record. Attendance dropped below 100-thousand last Tuesday and Wednesday, but climbed back above that mark on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
