Boyz II Men will play at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand on Sunday.

Enjoy the First Weekend of the Iowa State Fair

The Iowa State Fair returned yesterday, and there are plenty of things to do during this first weekend. Of course, there are hundreds of food options, but if you're looking for something oh-so-Iowan, try Bacon Box and its signature bacon balls, which come in three flavors.

Also enjoy three musical performances on the Grandstand stage:

Blake Shelton (8 p.m. today): There are standing-room-only tickets available to see this country musician, featuring Matt Stell as the opener. Tickets are $45.

Sam Hunt (7:30 p.m. tomorrow): The uber-popular country musician's show will be opened by Kip Moore. There are limited tickets up for grabs, starting at $40.

Boyz II Men (8 p.m. Sunday): Known for their vocal harmonies and emotional ballads, Boyz II Men round out the Grandstand weekend, opened by Bell Biv DeVoe. Tickets start at $20.
