[00:00.10]Passage Three
[00:03.45]Almost all states in America have a state fair.
[00:08.03]They last for one, two or three weeks.
[00:12.51]The Indiana state fair is one of the largest and oldest state fairs in the United States.
[00:20.47]It is held every summer. It started in 1852.
[00:26.08]Its goals were to educate, share ideas, and present Indiana's best products.
[00:34.33]The cost of a single ticket to enter the fair was 20 cents.
[00:39.45]During the early 1930s,officials of the fair ruled that people could attend by paying with something other than money.
[00:49.69]For example, farmers brought a bag of grain in exchange for a ticket.
[00:55.72]With the passage of time, the fair has grown and changed a lot,
[01:01.04]but it is still one of Indiana's most celebrated events.
[01:05.97]People from all over Indiana and from many other states attend the fair.
[01:11.69]They can do many things at the fair.
[01:14.87]They can watch the judging of the priced cows, pigs,and other animals.
[01:21.10]They can see sheep getting their wool cut,and they can learn how that wool is made into clothing.
[01:28.35]They can watch cows giving birth.
[01:31.48]In fact, people can learn about the animals they would never see except at a fair.
[01:36.75]The fair provides a chance for the farming community to show its skills and farm products.
[01:44.65]For example, visitors might see the world's largest apple, or the tallest sunflower plant.
[01:52.37]Today,children and adults at the fair can play new computer games,or attempt more traditional games of skill.
[02:01.87]They can watch performances put on by famous entertainers.
[02:07.06]Experts say such fairs are important,
[02:11.40]because people need to remember that they're connected to the earth and its products,
[02:17.05]and they depend on animals for many things.
