We love to celebrate the wonderful Indiana summer by visiting the Indiana State Fair every August. This years State Fair began last Friday, August 5th, and runs through Sunday, August 21st. Some of our State Fair favorites include stopping by the swine barn to see the “World’s Largest Pig,” visiting the free stage for a great concert, and of course eating lots of fried food. A couple of our staples every year are the ribeye sandwich from the cattle barn and fried Wisconsin cheese. If you are still looking for a time to visit the fair you have a lot of great opportunities coming up over the next 12 days.
