Indiana State Fair

The Indiana State Fair has started up its annual extravaganza of farm exhibits, midway rides, musical acts and foods of all sorts.
The fair opened its 17-day run in Indianapolis on Friday, with the high school marching band competition at the grandstand and the largest hog contest among the highlights.
Milder temperatures are expected for the fair's first weekend. That could lead to big crowds at the fair, which drew nearly 974,000 visitors last summer when it was extended to include three weekends.
