Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

If you have never been to the Iowa State Fair, this is your chance to learn more about how they party in the Midwest.

The Husband Calling Contest is one of their proudest traditions and it is time that you found out more. For those who wish to learn more, this contest takes place as part of the “Rural Americana Olde Tyme Competitions” and lots of people enter.

You will just have to head to the Farm Bureau Pioneer Hall when it is time to compete. Everyone who partakes is doing so for the love of the game, as winners only receive a ribbon and 5 bucks. Of course, it is not about winning money, it is about taking the time to enjoy all of the unique husband calls that these women are willing to break out.

The men who are present for this one have to be good sports, we would imagine. Once we took a moment to check out the videos of the husband calls in action, we realized that there is a lot of appeal here.

The video that you are about to see comes to you courtesy of @_rhinestonecowboy and we cannot stop laughing at these calls.

Some of the women seem to go for a more natural call, while there are others who choose something a bit more animal-like. Our favorite of the ones that we have seen has to be Gary’s wife. The way that she summons all of that rage in the blink of an eye is a sight to behold.

Clearly, this is a yell that she has had to break out more than a few times. It’s so well rehearsed and it takes her almost no time at all to go from 0 to 100. Once she gets to the “you come here right now!” part, we are more than sure that any husband who is in attendance has to be feeling their own sense of guilt.

After all, wives would not have to shout like this if their husbands would simply come when they are supposed to.

In our opinion, they are not the crazy ones for yelling like this, their husbands are the crazy ones for pushing them to that point.
