Fair Culture: Images from Indiana Fairs

Photographer Harold Lee Miller presents a beautiful and sometimes quirky glimpse of summer in a series of photographs of 4-H participants at the poultry and rabbit barns of the Indiana State Fair and in county fairs around the state. In addition to Miller's more than 100 photographs, the book includes an essay by Gerald Waite exploring the history of fairs from the Middle Ages to modern times, the growth of the institution in Indiana, and what fair culture says about those who participate in this annual ritual of Midwestern life.
