The World Food Prize invites all Iowans to celebrate our state's greatest hero, the great agricultural scientist and humanitarian Dr. Norman Borlaug, on what would have been his 100th birthday! The World Food Prize Hall of Laureates will be open all day on March 25 - the Borlaug Centennial - and activities will include a live webcast of the Borlaug Statue Unveiling Ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, children’s storytimes, meal packaging, talks by famous Iowa artists, and cultural dances representing the regions of the world where Borlaug worked. In addition, our new interactive educational exhibits, and the stunning international photography exhibit by Howard G. Buffett, will also be open to explore. The Iowa Historical Museum will also have related exhibits, and local restaurants will have Borlaug-themed menu items. Please join us! Details and times atwww.worldfoodprize.org/visit. You can also learn more about Dr. Borlaug and fighting hunger, at www.worldfoodprize.org/norm.
