The Red Gold Stage in the Pioneer Our Land Pavilion is the place to be at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 7, 9, 10, 13, 15 and 16. Participants will be selected to play the game on stage, while the audience also has a chance to play along and win prizes as well. Questions are centered around Indiana agriculture, and are designed for education, information and fun. Each player walks away a winner and with better knowledge about the state's agricultural industry.

The Council is a partnership of agricultural, commodity organizations and state and federal agencies.
