Indiana Brings Mini-Golf to D.C. Fair

Indiana’s rolling out a mini-golf course at the Great American State Fair in D.C., turning state pride into putts—with holes themed around farming, motorsports, and Pacers glory. Governor Mike Braun took swings and touted Indiana’s entrepreneurial hustle, while the fair itself—running June 25 to July 10 on the National Mall—features 150+ state exhibits, flyovers, a Ferris wheel, and even a presidential arch replica. Each day has a theme, kicking off with Trump’s speech. Not every state’s playing along: some cite cost, others like Oregon worry it’s too partisan. Braun’s bummed by the no-shows, calling it “gentle competition.” Organized by Freedom 250, tied to a Trump-backed task force, the event claims to be nonpartisan—but states are choosing their own level of participation.
