DES MOINES, Iowa — As Hillary Rodham Clinton walked among the booths of funnel cakes and corn dogs at the Iowa State Fair, trailed by a massive pack of media and onlookers, Donald Trump’s helicopter circled the fair-grounds in the air above.

That’s as close as Clinton and Trump’s massive en-tourages came at the state

fair, a rite of passage for any presidential candidate. The respective Democratic and Republican front-runners each drew large crowds of gawk-ers as Clinton sampled a pork chop on a stick and Trump gave rides to children on his helicopter emblazoned with his famous last name.

“Nice to be here!” Clinton said as she started an hour-long stroll across the fair-

grounds. Former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, who endorsed her this week and wore a straw hat to shade him from the blazing sun, accompanied her. Everywhere Clinton walked, large crowds followed her to get a photograph, a handshake or a quick hello.

Trump later made a grand entrance, landing his helicop-ter in athletic fields about a mile away and offering rides

to children before he came onto the grounds. Almost im-mediately Trump was crushed by massive crowds seeking photos, handshakes and yelling encouragement. The pandemonium followed him around for roughly an hour — and during a stop for a pork chop on a stick.

dinosaurs at the civic center

In the middle of the Lake Charles Civic Center on Satur-day, Myles Simon, 6, found him-self face to face with a Utahrap-tor — a 25-foot carnivore from the early Cretaceous period. He stared at the dinosaur, and it stared back. When he moved closer, the dinosaur turned its head and roared.

Myles was within inches of the Utahraptor before he turned to his mom, Erika, and smiled.

Myles was one of hundreds of kids walking wide-eyed through the Civic Center during Juras-sic Quest, an interactive exhibit featuring dozens of life-size, ani-matronic dinosaurs. The event spilled out onto the grounds of the Civic Center and featured science stations, fossil digs, food and inflatable bounce areas.

As Myles watched the di-nosaur roar, turn and roar again, his mom explained the youngster’s love for everything Jurassic.

“He has been fascinated by di-nosaurs since he was a baby. He

sleeps with them, he plays with them, he just loves everything about them,” Erika said.

The wait to get into Jurassic Quest ranged from one to three hours for those buying tickets at the gate.

Midway through the day’s activities, the Jurassic Quest company announced the event had been oversold. Online ticket sales were stopped, and a limit was placed on the number of people entering the event each hour.

Erika said she purchased her tickets online in advance.

As the crowds continued to pour into the Civic Center, Myles’ attention moved on to the other dinosaurs in the building. Across the room, an Edmonto-saurus was preying on another dinosaur. Across from those, a Velociraptor, a Triceratops and an Albertosaurus all roared in unison.

When asked which were his favorite, Myles took a second to think, then he responded simply: “The bigger ones.”

Jurassic Quest hours were extended today to 9 a.m.-8 p.m.

Jurassic exhibit proves wildly popular

Rick Hickman / American PressThe Jurassic Quest exhibit was oversold Saturday, so today’s hours have been extended to 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Long lines of people waited Saturday to get into the Civic Center for the exhibit. For more photos, see page A4.

The sixth annual Arts and Crabs Fest kicked off at Burton Coliseum with some fast-paced folk music by Thomas and Theresa, a mandolin and guitar duo that serenaded attendees as they lined up for food.

Thomas Townsley met Theresa Romero through the St. Louis High School Band the sum-mer of their sophomore year, and the two have been playing together ever since. Their involve-ment with the Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana led them to become the openers at Arts and Crabs.

MIRACLES HAPPEN HEAR EVERY DAY — WHAT WILL YOUR MIRACLE SOUND LIKE?When it became apparent that my hearing was to the stage of choosing between hearing what the person was saying and knowing I was missing a lot, even with watching their lips, I knew it was time to get help. I had hearing aids that

were not suffi cient. After being fi tted with Miracle Ear ME 5200s, my hearing became much more important than having people know I was wearing hearing aids. (Most people didn’t notice at all.) I am happy that I can hear when people are

whispering and I can even understand what my Great Grandchildren are saying. — B.C.
