It's interesting how different states treat their fairs. Colorado's fair I've heard is in trouble, SD shortened theirs to 5 days and claim to be happier, and Indiana is expanding the fair from 12 to 15 days.
Indiana's legislature has invested millions into the state fairgrounds. 38 blocks north and a little east of Monument Circle (downtown), the skyscrapers can be seen from the front gate. During the off season the grounds are used as an extension of the convention center downtown. The hockey team plays in the Coliseum.
Admission is $8.00 parking is free if you arrive early. Offsite parking is $5.00. 2 years ago for the 150th fair they had a 92 tractor parade from downtown to the fairgrounds. (Indiana has 92 counties.) This year they built a covered bridge on the grounds to celebrate the Indiana timberlands. The governor attended the opening day breakfast. If you watch the free shows and any judging the fair requires 2 days to do it all.
I've never been to any other state fair, but I'm sure the state's support makes all the difference.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
