INDIANA

STATE

FAIR

It was a great, great Indiana State Fair. We saw Garrison Keillor, Indigo Girls (lower right), CCR, knights jousting (lower left), hot air balloons glowing at night (above left), the Indiana Bicentennial Train (left, two BRG photos are displayed inside!), two miniature farms, ate corn dogs, sausages, beef sundaes, and spiral-cut potatoes, rode the soy biodiesel tractor shuttle around and around (below), and saw a nearly 1100 pound pumpkin. It was the Year of the Farmer. Above right, Archie Kerr on his Farmall in the daily tractor parade. I am already looking forward to next year! See all of the pictures at www.broadripplegazette.com
