08/02-- Gold-striped tents manned by Purdue University representatives line the entire length of Main Street at the Indiana State Fair Wednesday (8/14). Morning rain showers didn't dampen the spirits of fairgoers during Discover Purdue Day activities in Indianapolis. Wednesday was the first time any university has sponsored a day at the fair, and fairgoers could visit more than 40 tents of interactive Purdue exhibits. The day was filled with music from the "All-American" Marching Band and the Purduettes ensemble, rides on the Boilermaker Special, a pep rally, parade and the chance to meet some famous Purdue alumni, such as astronaut Jerry Ross and football legend Leroy Keyes.
