Keystone Cooperative Celebrates 4-H Youth and Indiana Agriculture at the Indiana State Fair
Aug 05, 2026
Keystone Cooperative is proud to bring Keystone Cooperative Day back to the Indiana State Fair on Friday, August 14, 2026, for a day dedicated to celebrating Indiana agriculture, 4-H livestock exhibitors, and the families and communities who support them.
As a single-day sponsor of the fair, Keystone is honored to shine a spotlight on the young exhibitors whose work, responsibility, and commitment reflect the strength of Indiana agriculture. Throughout the day, Keystone Cooperative Day will recognize the next generation of agricultural leaders while giving fairgoers meaningful ways to celebrate their accomplishments.
The celebration will include opportunities to recognize exhibitors in person. Beginning at 11:30 AM, the first 600 4-H livestock exhibitors who present their Keystone backtag at the Keystone booth in the Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion swine barn will receive a complimentary pork burger, generously prepared by Indiana Pork. Keystone will also feature exhibitor stories in a special video recorded throughout the day, highlighting the experiences, dedication, and personal journeys of young people from across the state. In addition, Keystone supplies the backtags and stall cards for 3,500 livestock exhibitors.
Beyond exhibitor recognition, Keystone Cooperative plays an important role in helping power the fair experience for guests and vendors. The Indiana State Fair continues to be one of the nation’s most celebrated summer traditions, drawing nearly 855,000 attendees in 2025. Behind the scenes, Keystone helps keep the fair moving by fueling tractor shuttles with CountryMark Premium Dieselex for smooth, efficient transportation and supplying more than 90 propane tanks that allow vendors to serve fan favorites like corn dogs and elephant ears. In partnership with CountryMark, Keystone also provides the diesel that powers the midway, one of the fair’s most popular attractions.
Keystone Cooperative invites fairgoers to join the celebration on August 14 and help honor the 4-H youth who represent the future of Indiana agriculture. Whether attending as a proud family member, a longtime supporter of agriculture, or a fairgoer enjoying one of Indiana’s favorite summer traditions, Keystone is honored to be part of a day that celebrates hard work, community, and the promise of the next generation.
