Never been to the Indiana State Fair.
(actually never thought about it)
Has anyone here been there in recent years?
Thinking of going this week and I'm looking for
feedback on any do's/don'ts/warnings/
special events/tips on parking.

We manage to go just about every year, and there's plenty of neat stuff to see, and lotsa free schwag to bring home.
Hit up the Dept of Natural Resources bldg to see the wildlife displays.
Hit up the Exhibition Hall for free stuff.
Hit up the Home & Family Arts Bldg to see cool artwork by Indiana artists.
Hit up any of the vendors for some nasty but delicious food.
The Homier Dist. tent, next to the Farm Bureau bldg, has some deals on tools.
Avoid the East end of the fairground, because it's kinda dull.
You can park in the infield, or at the school grounds on the north side.

school grounds on northside ! found it, infield was full!
Nice hot sweaty day.... spent half the time at the midway w/daughter!
Overall,... nice setup. We were leaving about the time the American
Idols concert was starting. Lot of Taylor Hicks fans there.
Spent another day & 1/2, cavorting around Monument Circle.
Nice.
