Correction

A story in Tuesday's edition of the BannerGraphic about Open Class entries for the Indiana State Fair contained incorrect information.

The entry fee for each department (up to 30 entries) at the fair is $30, with an additional late fee of $25 for registering between July 2 and July 21. The deadline for any entries is July 21.

The BannerGraphic regrets the error and any confusion it may have caused.
