Indiana's Biggest 'Little' Fair

The epic chariot race scene in the 1959 movie “Ben Hur,” based on Indiana Author Lew Wallace’s book, captured the excitement of horse racing, which takes many forms. This summer is a must-see chance to see horse racing up close, in all its hoof—and heart—pounding glory. On Saturday, July 13 at the Newton County Pun’kin Vine Fair in Kentland, the multi-layer thrills of a Hoosier mainstay will be on display: harness racing, and it’s all part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the fair.
