INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana State Fair is getting in on the Pokemon Go craze by offering players two special fairgrounds gameplay sessions.

They'll be 'laying down lures' from 2 p.m. -  9 p.m. on Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6.

Lures are very valuable because they can help players capture Pokemon by attracting them to a Pokestop for 30 minutes.
