Walking down the Bloomington streets lined with limestone buildings and trendy coffee shops, it can be easy to forget the college town is smack dab in the middle of a vast agricultural region. The Monroe County Fair serves as a clear and authentic reminder of those southern Indiana roots.
Since the first Monroe County Fair took place 160 years ago in October 1855, it has been relocated several times. After a brief hiatus due to the Civil War, it was held in what is today known as Dunn Meadow. It later moved to the courthouse square, and then IU’s fieldhouse, before finally settling into the current fairgrounds by the airport on the west SEE FAIR, PAGE 7
Former IU stars knocked out of tournament From IDS reports
Armored Athlete’s pursuit for a championship in The Basketball Tournament and the $1 million prize came to an end Saturday night in the round of eight as IU alumni Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, Will Sheehey and Co. fell 76-72 to Ants Alumni, which featured former Hoosier Rod Wilmont. Ants Alumni’s roster is made up of members of the 2013-14 NBA DLeague Champion Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Sheehey scored a game-high 18 points off the bench and Watford knocked down a 3-pointer with 18.3 seconds left to cut Ants Alumni’s lead to one, but Armored Athlete came up short in the end. The team averaged 95 points in its first three games of the singleelimination tournament, but it didn’t have enough firepower to advance to the Final Four in New York next weekend. Hulls, Watford, guard Lloyd Johnson and former Holy Cross forward David Dudzinski carried Armored Athlete to a pair of wins in the Midwest Regional before reinforcements — Sheehey, former Xavier and Arizona standout Mark Lyons and former New Mexico big man Alex Kirk — arrived for the “Super 17” Regional. Watford was a four year starter at IU who averaged 13.1 points per game over the course of his career.
He also averaged 5.9 rebounds per game and increased his 3-point percentage from 32 percent as a freshman to 48 percent as a senior. He is well remembered for his buzzer-beating shot against Kentucky in 2012. Hulls, who won a state title at Bloomington South High School, put up over 11 points per game in his sophomore and junior seasons. He shot 44 percent from deep over his career. He ended his career with 1,318 points. Sheehey saw an increase each season in points per game during his time at IU. Starting with 4.8 points per game in his freshman year, he scored 11.4 a game in his senior season. Hulls got married this June. Both Watford and Sheehey were in attendance at the ceremony. Watford and Sheehey both played in this summer’s NBA Summer League with the Indiana Pacers and and New Orleans Pelicans, respectively. Despite falling short of its ultimate goal, Armored Athlete is prepared for more runs in The Basketball Tournament in the future, according to the team’s Twitter account. “Thanks to all the fans who voted for us and came out and supported us!” Armored Athlete tweeted Sunday morning. “This is only the beginning for Armored Athlete!” Andy Wittry

Capital Cities, Adventure Club, Action Bronson and Phoebe Ryan will make their way to Bloomington in late August as part of the third IU Block Party. This year’s Block Party will start at 5 p.m. with a free carnival. Students will get free food, as well as experience classic carnival games and rides. The carnival ends at 8 p.m. Doors for the concert will open at 6 p.m., and the concert is slated to conclude the Block Party at 1 a.m. The concert and carnival will take place in the parking lot at the corner of Fee Lane and 13th Street, south of McNutt Residence Hall. Union Board Director of Music James Diamond said the Block Party has grown each year, and he expects the trend to continue. Boasting a diverse lineup, the concert should have something for everyone, Diamond said. “We have a wide array of genres — we have some rap, we have some electronic music, some pop,” Diamond said. “I feel like it’s just gonna be good music that will really welcome the freshman onto campus.” Capital Cities, formed in 2010, gained widespread success when their song “Safe and Sound” went multi-platinum in the U.S., Germany, Canada, Mexico and other countries, according to the band’s website. Adventure Club is a Canadian electronic dance music duo formed in 2011 and featuring members Christian Srigley and Leighton James, according to the group’s Facebook page. The group describes its genre as “ClubStep.” Action Bronson, a Queens, New York-based rapper who released his debut album in 2011, recently released his first major label album, “Mr. Wonderful.” Phoebe Ryan is a Los Angeles-based artist who released her debut EP “Mine” on June 9. Last year’s concert, with Skizzy Mars, B.o.B. and Krewella, had wide attendance despite a rain delay. Diamond said he expects this year’s concert to be very successful. “I think the whole show is going to be the highlight of the block party,” Diamond said. Tickets for the concert go on sale at 10 a.m. July 27 at a presale price of $20. Tickets will be available online at iuauditorium.com.
