Does the State Fair host a farmers market during its run? If not, why not?
There is usually an Indiana Grown market in the Ag/Hort building. Lots of great Hoosier products to purchase. Hopefully it will be there again this year.
Wonder whether there will be an extra charge to view the outdoor lantern exhibit or Artscape?
