    The show must go on!? Tell that to those that attended the IN state fair when Sugarland was set to play and the winds collapsed the temporary roof structure in a thunderstorm. No thanks…maybe Saturday daytime if they have an afternoon schedule prior to. Watch the forecasts and make a smart decision for you and your family.

    The circus tents were up this morning at the fairgrounds. The show must go on!
