Governor Eric Holcomb has appointed Mitch Frazier as chair of the Indiana State Fair Commission. He succeeds Brad Chambers who served as the Commission’s chair until recently taking on the role of Secretary of Commerce for the state of Indiana and CEO of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC).

The Indiana State Fair Commission, which is made up of 13 members, sets governing policy and provides strategic direction for the year-round operation of the 250-acre Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center, including the annual Indiana State Fair.

“The Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center is a special place where traditions are made and memories are created,” said Mitch Frazier, president and CEO of AgriNovus Indiana and chair of the Indiana State Fair Commission. “I look forward to working with the Indiana State Fair team to build upon the fairgrounds’ rich history and continue to advance its position as a destination for world-class experiences and innovation.”
