Indiana State Fair Faces Uncertain Future After Chicago Meeting
Secretary Downing returns from Chicago where he joined the American Association of State Fairs and Expositions to discuss next year’s fairs. Indiana may skip the state fair due to Saint Louis World’s Fair drawing crowds, with potential adjustment to dates the week of September 5 if held. Downing urged city patrons to support the fair and suggested business leaders grant holidays to encourage attendance. He noted Indianapolis residents often prefer the Chicago exposition over the state event.
