Lynn Dunn, of Marion, Iowa quietly passed away in his sleep while attending the IAFE Spring Seminar in St. Louis on March 12, 2008. Funeral services were held March 17, 2008, at Faith Lutheran Church in Marion by Pastor John Albertson.
Dunn represented the Linn County Fair, Central City, Iowa, which was one of IAFE’s newest members, having just joined the Association in late 2007.

Also surviving are several nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many other family members and friends.
Dunn had participated in a Consumer Protection Program presented by the IAFE for Iowa fairs and shortly thereafter convinced his fair of the benefits of joining. He immediately enrolled in the IAFE’s Institute of Fair Management, attended the Zone 5 meeting and eagerly came to the Spring Seminar in St. Louis. Dunn was 57 years old and in addition to serving on the board of the Linn County Fair was also a director for the Association of Iowa Fairs, a 4-H leader, a farmer, and sheep producer.
