James Dean Museum Days in Fairmount, Indiana

This weekend is the 30th annual James Dean Museum Days in Fairmount, Indiana. The festival kicked off yesterday, and continues through Monday with events including a very large antique car show, a parade through town, showings of Dean's movies, a "rock & lasso" contest as seen in the movie "Giant," a James Dean look-alike contest, and numerous other events.

Fairmount is located about an hour and a half drive north of Indianapolis off I-69 North.

James Dean grew up in Fairmount, Indiana, and was buried there in Park Cemetery after his death in an auto accident in September of 1955.

We won't have an IndyScribe presence at the festival this year to do a review, but I've attended in years past and had a fun time. The car show alone is worth a visit.
