Ed Fallon turns 50 this Saturday, and his campaign has set an ambitious goal of collecting $50 from at least 1,000 donors to mark the occasion.

Everyone who gives $50 to the campaign will receive Fallon’s mother’s recipe for “killer apple pie.” You can contribute here:

The campaign also has a number of public events scheduled for Saturday to mark Fallon’s birthday. I’m putting the details after the jump.  

If you want to join us for any of these events, please RSVP at Fallon@FallonforCongress.com.

7:00-8:30 am-Breakfast at the Drake Diner. I’m having pancakes, the tall stack, with a side order of The Des Moines Register. Critiquing the morning’s top stories with friends is a great way to wake up. Come join me.

9:00-11:00 am-Frisbee golf at Grandview Park. Many politicians do pricey golf outings with lobbyists. I prefer “poor man’s golf” with friends. Discs are $10 at Boulevard Sports. Can a 50-year old beat his personal best of 2-under par? Come join me and find out.

12:00-1:00 pm-Natural Living Expo at the new Animal Learning Center at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

2:00-5:00 pm-Let’s bike. I’m shooting for a 20-30-mile ride. Start and finish at the main campaign house, 2715 Cottage Grove.

7:00-10:00 pm-Party at the Thoreau Center, 3500 Kingman Blvd. There will be a band from 8-10 pm and we’ll serve food and drink. No gifts please, just come, have fun, and let me thank you for your support.
