STATEHOUSE-The Indiana State Fair is hoping to draw a crowd to fill more than 800 positions during it's first-ever job fair.

The job fair will be located in the Pioneer Our Land Pavilion at the State Fairgrounds on June 4 from 4-7 p.m. and June 6 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. More than 800 positions will be available, including: ticket sellers, ticket takers, gate supervisors, parking attendants, parking supervisors, grounds maintenance, barn cleaners, security personnel, receptionists, visitor information booth attendants, cashiers and shuttle bus drivers. "I encourage anyone interested to take advantage of the opportunity, especially students that are home for the summer or someone looking for something exciting to do this summer," said Rep. Woody Burton (R-Greenwood). "The Indiana State Fair offers a great opportunity for Hoosier families to see a wide variety of entertainment through exhibits, events and performers while showcasing agriculture and Indiana's heritage. Anytime you can visit or, in this case, work at the fair, I encourage you to do so." Interviews will be conducted on site and resumes are welcome. Informal dress is fine.
