Big County Fair Celebrations Across Indiana County Trails
The county fair, the biggest annual event in Indiana county, runs with rides, tent shows, stock judging, and horse races. A Child Health tent offers free but valuable services for youth, while the stock and poultry displays impress farmers. The program includes ten speed events with nearly 5000 dollars in purses, airplane stunts, and Soldiers Day activities. A reception honors Heilwood couple Thomas and Mrs Duncan, and Labor Day features a county parade and a Health Organization float amid civic events.
