A FAIR TO REMEMBER

The Kentucky State Fair is underway! Eleven days of fried food, farm animals, live music, questionable decisions, and peak Kentucky energy all packed into one glorious place. Come hungry, wear comfy shoes, say hi to some prize-winning livestock, hit a ride or two, and absolutely save room for something on a stick. Whether you’re here for the concerts, the corn dogs, the competitions, or just some top-tier people watching, there’s really no wrong way to do the Fair. Just go big, stay hydrated, and seize the day(s).
