Attended Montana Owners Rally in Sept. 2025. Believe we had about 168 Montana RV trailers on site for the 8 days of the rally. Fairgrounds made for a wonderful plant to have a event of this size. With full hookup camps sites and building facilities to hold dinners and training seminars this is a wonderful location.

Being one of the biggest county fairs I usually go for the food and the commercial buildings. Good place to see a concert the best seats are on the track only downfall to that is if it rains the track is not covered. Here's some pictures of this year's concert I went to.

This is the largest county fair in Indiana besides the Indiana state fair. Although through the years the prices have gotten a lot more expensive. They have lots to offer here and if you like to eat, well they have that too.

Arguably one of the biggest wonders of America attracting visitors near and far with good food and fun activities for the whole family. Attractions at every corner, from the swine to the rabbit barn, the youth and the senior pagents, grandstand entertainment and much more.

Great location for the Coachmen Rally. The grounds were beautifully manicured and maintained. Clean and conveniently spread out for walking to the various locations within. For gravel sites they were very level and nicely spaced out. Lord those trains tho!!! An off leash fenced in dog area would have been great. The stage/grassy area where live band performed was really an enjoyable experience!! Looking forward to next year!!
