If you are staffing a tent, volunteering or riding a bus, please plan to attend one of these meetings. If you cannot attend, please send a representative from your office.  We will have a lot of information and materials for you and will be able to answer all of your questions.

Volunteers

We need 4 bus greeters, 12 volunteers to assist tent row staff, and volunteers to staff an information area.  Please contact us if you would like to volunteer.  Volunteer spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

Admission Tickets

Each participating tent will receive 6 tickets.  For example: If your college has two tents reserved for Purdue Day at the State Fair, that college will receive 12 tickets. If a college has one tent, they will receive 6 tickets.  If you will not be using all of your tickets please let us know, so we can give you the appropriate amount. If you need additional tickets, or you do not have a participating tent, each unit will be responsible for purchasing their own ticket/s. 

Discount tickets can be purchased for $7. They are available at all Indiana Wal-Mart stores, CVS/pharmacy stores, Indiana Farm Bureau offices, the Marten House Hotel and the Indiana State Fairground Box Office. They will be available mid-July, 2008.

You may also purchase tickets at the State Fair Admission Gate for $8, children 5 & under are free.

You may pick the time that you want to depart Purdue as well as the time that you want to leave the State Fair. Bus departs Purdue from the Grant Street Parking Garage across from the Purdue Memorial Union. Bus leaves the State Fair across from gate 1A off of 38th street.
