Purdue at the Indiana State Fair
The Purdue presence at the Indiana State Fair will include seven major exhibits — such as this one on salamanders and a mulitple-stop one, "The Edible Journey," about how food gets from farm to store — other exhibits, demonstrations and knowledge from Purdue master gardeners. The fair will run Aug. 7-23 in Indianapolis.
