For this Saturday, Indiana would be just Grand.

BTW, Don, The Music Man was set in Iowa (think of the song "Iowa Stubborn"). Meredith Wilson was born in Mason City, Iowa, which became River City in his play. Your memory isn't that far off though. There was also a song in the Music Man about Gary, Indiana (Harold Hill's hometown)

Ahhhh yes, thanks for reminding me. If only Patty and I could find a a way up to eastern edge of the Adirondacks this year but it may have to wait. Still working on a get together at Keeneland for any one who can make it. We'd drive. Also I have a very good contact/friend who manages his own farm that could open some doors for us at other "more notable" farms for a visit.

But, it will depend on things I have little control over. May be, maybe not!?

Cruzan, many of us use this link to get BRIS pp's for free.

Most of the Saturday Indiana Grand races are included. You do have to wander around the site a little to reach what you're seeking.

“Who’s yer/here?” –
This was supposedly the way early Indiana settlers would respond to a knock on their cabin doors.

The story goes that it was eventually shortened to “Hoosier?”

“Who’s your [relative]?” –
Again, legend has it that this question was eventually shortened to “Hoosier
