Throwback Thursday ✨

From 1967 to today, the IPE has been full of unforgettable memories, from the barns and exhibits to the midway and everything in between.

And yes… those same grandstands are still standing today 😉

We’re proud to have welcomed generations of exhibitors and fairgoers who’ve made the IPE what it is, and we can’t wait to keep the tradition going.

We’re bringing a fun new early- morning activity to the IPE and wanted to see what you all think!

How does Goat Yoga from 9-10am sound??🐐
It will take place in a quiet area( plenty of space away from the busy action, don’t worry!)

With how busy fair time can be, we know it might be nice to offer a little moment of relaxation, a chance to slow down and start your day off in a fun way!

Before we go ahead, we’d love to gauge the interest…Would this be something you’d want to do at the IPE?

And if you happen to know a great yoga instructor in the area, we’d love your recommendations too!
