TV station & race track

For Indiana history, we visited WISH-TV channel 8's studios in downtown Indy.  The kids got to see the newsroom:



and the studio:



This is the weather center.  Randy Ollis is sitting there on the left. 


Then we stayed to watch the taping of the noon new live.  We watched from an upstairs conference room.



When we left the TV station, we headed to Speedway to the Indianapolis 500 track.  We took their track tour in a bus around the track.




This is the start-finish line.  The track was originally made of bricks - which is why they call it the Brickyard.






Overall, the TV station tour was much more fun, educational and exciting - and it was FREE!
