About the Indiana State Fair via Wikipedia -
The Indiana State Fair is held in Indianapolis, the state capital, usually in August. It is one of the largest of such fairs, which are held in many U.S. states in the summer or fall, usually to highlight aspects of the state's agriculture and history.
In 2004, a record 900,000 people attended the state fair; attendance dropped to approximately 810,000 in 2005 due to less-than-ideal weather conditions. The 150th Indiana State Fair will be held August 9-20 in 2006. The state fair buildings and grounds are used for a variety of other shows while the fair is not being held. The fair grounds are on 38th Street and Fall Creek Parkway. The midway continues to attract pre-kindergartners through college kids every year.
One of the most popular features of the State Fair is the Marching Band Competition.
The largest building at the fairgrounds is the Pepsi Coliseum, formerly known as the Indiana State Fair Coliseum.
