It’s the Year of Popcorn at the Indiana State Fair! As the nation’s second largest popcorn producing state, Indiana is a popcorn powerhouse and the State Fair is ready to prove it.
After months of planning and building, the Indiana State Fair is proud to unveil the World’s Largest Popcorn Ball presented by the Indiana Family of Farmers. With the help of Pop Weaver Popcorn, the fair has made a mammoth 8 foot wide popcorn ball to be revealed today in the Ball State Ag/Hort Building at 10 a.m. The current record is a 5, 060 lb. ball made in Iowa.
