In August 2005 Harold Lee Miller, a nationally known photographer with offices in New York and Indianapolis, started a series of photographs of 4-H participants at the poultry and rabbit barns of the Indiana State Fair. Miller expanded his project to include people and activity from fairs across the state of Indiana. In addition to Miller's more then 100 amazing color photographs, the book includes an essay by Gerald Waite exploring the history of fairs from the Middle Ages to modern times, and what fair culture says about those who participate in this annual ritual of midwestern life.
