Field of Dreams Info Page

Field of Dreams was created on illustration board in pencil by up-and-coming artist, David Allen Graul. This magnificently detailed scene beckons you to imagine what it would be like if all the great drivers and fans of the Fairgrounds could gather together just one more time--for one more magical race.

On this magical evening, we would gather our children and grandchildren for an outing they would never forget. When we arrive, we would buy our tickets at the old green shed and enter through the grandstand gates. Our entrance would be greeted by the shout of, "Get your programs here!" We would oblige the attendant at the makeshift news stand and buy a Racer Magazine. After that, we would head down front to buy a hot dog and more treasured souveniers. We would pass the many fan club banners hanging from the paint peeled railings and finally make the turn to ascend the larger-than-life grandstand. Upon arriving at our seats, we would arrange our tattered blankets and settle in for the cold evening. The qualifying would be tough. The feature field would be set. A hush would fall over the crowd as we would remove our hats and sing the National Anthem. The command would be given. The engines would start. And the field of dreams would thrill us one more time.
