This was miniature golf to the extreme!
I don't think the bear was for sale and I can't remember what they were selling, but it was cool.
There was a new fangled washing machine that was supposed to use silver ions and UV lamps and work without detergent.
Some things you would not see at the Ekka, but are usual in Indiana.
Heidi's castle... kid at heart!
And of course millions of hot tubs for sale.
The next exhibit hall was full of strange things invented in Indiana and strange facts about Indiana.
This was a pumpkin cannon.
A replica of The World's Largest Ball of Paint.
An astro-turf covered car.
A strange rule about fishing in Muncie.
An old tractor.
As I said, this is the year of the corn and you can't half tell!
All you want to know about corn and all you don't.
A few other strange things were an army dozer,
the world's largest chese sculpture,
and "try your hand at fishing". We didn't. The fish were only 4 inches long anyway.
Then there were the 4-H exhibits. This is an interesting concept. It is a youth development program for school-aged kids and involves every possible craft, art, activity and project you could imagine. A bit like guides or scouts on project overdrive. All of the best projects from around the state were on display in 2 large buildings.
This is Llew and Shawn checking out the electronics projects.
These were what was left of the baking projects.
I hope they were judged a while ago! Check out the mold!
Other things were photography, cake decorating, woodwork, insect collections, painting, and investigative science project posters.

wow, the mold is really horrendous... if you think this is all impressive, you should go to the Illinois State Fair and see the Butter Cow! ;-)
