The Indiana State Fair had their 150th fair last month, with their
3rd largest crowd ever. I didn't see it but they had 92 antique
tractors (1 for every county) parade from Monument Circle in the
middle of Indianapolis out to the State Fair grounds. Over at the
Pioneer Village (NE corner of the fairgrounds) there was a large
exhibit of antique tractors and some other equipment, including
steam engines, threshing machines, and a sawmill. Our governor
plans on agriculture to revitalize Indiana and the state is
spending some money toward that goal. There was a John Deere
dealer and a Case-IH dealer set up showing smaller tractors and
selling shirts and toys.

Our county fair is built around 4-H and is fairly small. We used
to have a separate county fair but the organizers quit when the
preachers objected to the gambling and girly shows. So all we
have now is 4-H exhibits, livestock, demolition derby, and a
small midway.
