“We did a lot of things to

get people out to the fair,” he

said.

One of the most success-

ful promotions the fair offered

was $2 Tuesdays. Patrons

could go onto a sponsor’s Web

site and download a voucher

for free fair admission. Then,

vendors offered $2 samples.

The midway also participated

in this promotion by offering

$2 samples from their conces-

sions as well as some $2 rides.

New exhibits included the

“Bridges to Japan.” The fair

created this exhibit in conjunc-

tion with the Japan America

Society of Indianapolis. It was

very well received. Next year,

the fair will select a different

country to feature.

Another new highlight

was the 25-foot high “Ameri-

can Gothic” sculpture that

stood outside the 4-H build-

ings.

Two popular traveling at-

tractions included the Dock

Dogs and Weldy’s Big Bear

Show.

that has happened only twice

in the fair’s 164-year history.

According to a report

999,845 in attendance for the

2010 event. That was a 28,572
