Indiana State Fair 2013

 Indiana State Fair Entries... 

from most of the 92 Indiana County Champions


[Click on photo to get a larger image.]

Above is a picture of about 1/3 of the state fair insect collections for the 4-H Entomology Project that are entered from across the state.

To the left is the 2013 Grand Champion for the 4-H Entomology Exhibits.  As a former 4-H member, I collected and displayed insects in display boxes like these, but my exhibits never made it from the county to the state fair.  It is very difficult to collect enough orders of insects, properly preserve & display them, and properly identify each one.

This Champion Exhibit was excellent!

David Rogers is an outstanding artist from Long Island, New York who first presented his Big Bugs at the Dallas Arboretum in 1994. Since that time the Big Bugs have appeared to rave reviews in all of the major botanical gardens and in other venues across the entire country. In 2008 their appearance in Owensboro represented the first visit to Kentucky and was a great success both for their artistic beauty and their educational opportunities.
There will be 11 sculptures representing nine different bugs. These sculptures are created by all natural woods representing unique shapes, colors and textures providing a special sense of life for these fabulous and very big Big Bugs.
The world of "bugs" represents a truly amazing story of the life of nature at its most wonderful, fanciful and ferocious. Observing these wonderful and beautiful works of art provide a great opportunity for education which is a major goal of The Garden in presenting this exhibition. There will be programs provided during the Big Bugs stay for school children and adults to visit and learn all about the wonderful life of bugs in the natural setting of The Garden.

The Family Owned Small Business



When you use a family owned business, you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home.

You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college.

Our customers are our shareholders and they are the ones we strive to make happy.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS.
