A Special Theme for 2022

As you probably know, Indiana has a rich racing history.  This year's state fair theme will be "fun at the speed of summer!" It's a way to celebrate Indiana's history with racing and the automotive industry, as well as celebrating summertime when we're all back together again.   In a press release the Indiana State Fair said this about the theme:

Indiana’s rich automotive tradition is a signature source of pride for Hoosiers, and the Indiana State Fair looks forward to celebrating Indiana’s worldwide recognition for its automotive history and contributions to the industry. Fairgoers can expect to see iconic, celebrity cars from movies and books, in addition to world-class classic car collections showcasing Indiana-made vehicles, and so much more.
