US Diaries: Indiana

I think I liked Indiana better than I did Illinois. The two spots we played there (so far) were really cool! The first spot was Valparaiso, Indiana, and it was called the Porter County Fair; pretty much in the ‘country side’ surrounded by corn fields. It felt very refreshing to be away from the city for once.

We were pretty bust at this spot – busier than some spots we played up till now – and so the two weeks we were there went by really fast.

Beautiful big trees

The next spot was Crown Point for the Lake County Fair. This was a beautiful spot as well – it was pretty much a camping site with woods and a lake. The midway (where the rides, food stands and games stands are) was massive and busy every day. It was a good fair to be a part of.

I saw Tractor Pulling for the first time ever and let me tell you those engines are LOUD!

Monster Trucks!

We had two off days when we got there; the first day we just relaxed and caught up on sleep after teardown and the second day we had a braai and went to the movies to watch the latest Transformers. It’s always nice to have a day off.

We drove through Indiana to get to our current spot which is Louisville, Kentucky, for the State Fair. More of that soon!
