Additionally, WNBA All-Stars Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and Erica Wheeler were in attendance, shooting hoops and interacting with fans.
“We are incredibly grateful to our partners with Pacers Sports & Entertainment and the Indiana Fever to bring this new basketball court to life,” said Cindy Hoye, Executive Director of the Indiana State Fairgrounds. “This court now becomes an annual tradition to enjoy while visiting the State Fair, and a community asset into the future.
