  1  7 places, products, and its people; and
  1  8    WHEREAS, in the 21st century Iowa has an
  1  9 increasingly diverse population, with a great increase
  1 10 in racial and ethnic minority groups now making Iowa
  1 11 their home; and
  1 12    WHEREAS, the Iowa State Fair needs to both reflect
  1 13 Iowa's increasingly diverse population and take steps
  1 14 to welcome Iowans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds

  1 16 in its activities; NOW THEREFORE,
  1 17    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
  1 18 That the House of Representatives urges the Iowa State
  1 19 Fair Board to ensure that the Iowa State Fair
  1 20 celebrates all of Iowa's people by adding a broad
  1 21 range of events, attractions, and grandstand
  1 22 entertainment that both represent and appeal to the
  1 23 diverse racial and ethnic population that now calls
  1 24 Iowa home.
