INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Indianapolis’ largest convention of the year is coming back and coming back downtown.
The announcement was made Wednesday that the National FFA Convention and Expo will host an in-person event in the fall.
The event usually brings 65,000 people to town eating, drinking and enjoying other amenities. The number is unlikely to be that high this year, but still, every little bit helps for places like Tavern on South as conventions start to come back.
“It’s good to have any of the conventions back in town,” owner Steve Geisler said.
Geisler says while not all conventions are created equal, an event the size of FFA is a big deal.
