So attendance is down and some idiot comes up with the idea to kill a couple of the grandstands biggest fillers??? Drop the big concerts, derby, monster trucks....why not get rid of the rides, I bet they really show up then. Now it makes me wonder why Blues Traveler cancelled as well. I had planned on taking the wife there this weekend but that's not going to happen now. This will be ANOTHER major blow to the State fair derby and it always seems to happen when someone "outside" the derby community sticks their nose in. Thanks for trying but stick a fork in this show, its done and their not worth it. Think maybe people are waking up to the fact that this place sits in the middle of the ghetto and its just not safe? Don't blame them one bit.....

Don't blame them one bit..... Skunk,i couldn't agree more. We were also going to go this weekend. Think we'll just skip it. If they want to save money, maybe they shouldn't hire so many people to just sit around in the parking lots not doing anything. Or walking around the fair grounds not doing anything. If they want attendance to go up, lower the price to get in. It was going to cost us over $40 to just get into the fairgrounds! I'm sorry for John, he's at the crappy end of the stick on this one.

Don't blame them one bit..... If B.T. cancelled then it's because the $$$ isn't there to pay them....then the same holds true for the derby..... They need to open their books....

sorry to hear... if this is canceled, someone needs to tell the Event Office at Ind State Fairgrounds. I was just told by someone that they called the Fairgrounds event number and they were told it was still on for 4:30 pm I was just told the same thing from Ind State Fairgrounds.

If they arnt running a derby to these rules and ppl want to derby, how many of us can meet on the same day. Well go to the frankfort bored and have a derby of our own Fudge it. 50 bucks for the car and 10 a pit pass and what ever we get from that winner takes or cut it in half and winner takes that incase the fair bored wants some $$$

I called the state fair events office. I was told several events were canceled because of wet track conditions and the expected rain Friday, Saturday, and sunday
