Thousands of fairgoers interacted with Indiana Farm Bureau in several different ways during the 2019 Indiana State Fair.

The fair itself, which ended Aug. 18, recorded a total attendance of 878,857.

The Farm Bureau Building had a new look with new exhibit pieces, a timeline of INFB’s first 100 years and banners that gave the building a more finished look.

Here are a few of INFB’s numbers:

• 2,500 pounds of popcorn were popped and more than 35,000 bags of popcorn were given away.
• Over 2,000 fairgoers completed the Ag Fact Adventure scavenger hunt in the INFB building.
• Over 2,300 people entered the “Free Popcorn for a Year” giveaway.
• More than 40,000 fairgoers participated in Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance’s corn hole game for prizes.
• 5,276 people lined up for free food samples during the three days of Taste from Indiana Farms, which is sponsored by the INFB Women’s Leadership Committee.
• Approximately 2,600 INFB buckets were given away to youth exhibitors showing beef, dairy, swine, sheep and meat goats. Each bucket included a youth information flyer.
