How many people are expected to come in the 2009 Indiana State Fair?”
It’s no big secret times are tough, and Hoosiers are looking for values more than ever before. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t leaving the house. In fact, the Indiana State Fair hopes more folks than ever will turn out for this year’s newly expanded, 17-day fair August 7-23, and fair organizers are making it as painless as possible on people’s pocketbooks.
Indiana State Fair organizers are anticipating this month’s longer fair will attract a record crowd, but they are setting modest expectations. The fair opens on Friday for its extended 17-day run — adding a third weekend to what has been a 12-day schedule. Nearly 860,000 people attended last year’s fair, with a record crowd of 900,365 in 2004. Fair officials are expecting more than 900,000 people this year. Spokesman Andy Klotz said organizers hope more families will make a second or third trip, although it is possible the crowd could be spread out over the additional days. A Ball State University researcher is projecting that total attendance could top 1 million even though daily attendance might drop slightly. http://www.wlky.com/news/20306262/detail.html The Indiana State Fair — More Days, More Funl The 2009 Indiana State Fair’s motto is “More Days, More Fun” as they have expanded the fair to last 17 days fr
Thousands of folks lined up for the official opening of the 2009 Indiana State Fair Friday. State fair officials expect some 900,000 people to visit this year’s fair. Most of those people are probably concerned about spending too much money. Because the fair runs longer this year, officials are offering more free admission days and discounts. For the first time ever, they’ve even come up with a $5 book of coupons to save money on food and among other things.
