Beat the Heat at the State Fair's Final Weekend

It's the final weekend for the Indiana State Fair, and as we all know, it is going to be a hot one. But don't let the heat get you down! There are plenty of indoor exhibits to beat the heat and enjoy.

"We have lots of indoor exhibit space. It's 18,000 square feet of air conditioning. We have over a million square feet of air-conditioned buildings all around the property," Anna Whelchel, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer, said.

Whelchel shares some of her favorite indoor attractions that you won't want to miss:

"You've got to visit the animals in the barns. We also have the Big Top Circus. We also have our Indiana Arts building,” said Whelchel. "The Vinyl Revival. It's been one of our most popular attractions we've ever had here at the Indiana State Fair.”

And don't forget to stay hydrated! There are water refill stations throughout the fair, and you're encouraged to bring in your own water bottle.

"Make sure that when you're here at the fair, you get inside and cool off, stay hydrated. You can bring in your own water bottle, and we also have water refill stations all around the property," Whelchel said.

One fairgoer, Julia Lawson, shared her plans for the final weekend:

"I actually came on Wednesday,” Julia Lawson said. “I think this will be my last one. It's going to be hot."

The Indiana State Fair closes on Sunday, August 17.
