Discover Purdue Day at the Indiana State Fair
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.

Traveling in style
The best way to see the Indiana State Fair is when somebody else is pushing or pulling you around, as these four cousins found out Wednesday (8/14).
