Indiana State Fair Year of the Pig

In case you didn’t know, the Indiana State Fair is going on NOW until Aug 22 and this year is the Year of the Pig. The featured fair food is the “Garbage Burger” created by Shoup’s Country Foods, started my late uncle Tom Shoup and currently ran by his two daughters Cindy Shoup Cacy and Amy Shoup Mennen, located in Frankfort, Indiana. The Garbage Burger consists of a Hog-Burger (similar to a hamburger, but with ground pork) w/ pulled pork bar-b-q on top. I love both the hog burger and a pulled pork sandwich BUT the combo??? IS AMAZING!!

The State Fair has something for everyone. I have been twice already—there is a fascinating exhibit about Indiana ties to Japan, especially in the Automotive Arena—there are at least 3 Japanese Auto manufacturing plants located in Indiana. I saw Indiana’s largest Pig, a veterinarian surgery, a replica of one of Indiana’s first Pharmacy’s, and even a couple of Mullet Hairstyles.

As your Preferred Realtor, I like to share the things I love about Boone County and the Indy Metro Area..the State Fair is high on my list --- it’s a MUST attend every year!!
