The Kentucky State Fair is wrapping up this weekend, but there’s still time to go out like a true champion:

  • Eat one last deep-fried masterpiece—because regrets are for Monday.

  • Hit the rides—scream like you own the place (and maybe scare a cow or two).

  • Snap your “I survived the fair” selfie—funnel cake crumbs optional, but recommended.

  • Catch the final shows—because missing the magic now would be tragic.

  • Leave with a prize—even if it’s just a stuffed animal slightly bigger than your dignity.

Go big or go home—this fair won’t wait, but you can go out laughing. Check our guide for tips on how to do it right!

“6AM came way too fast. And I’m starting to realize that I’m running out of gas. Now I’m sitting here just shaking. 3 o’clock took way too long, and I’m thinking ‘bout the time that’s gone. Too tired to keep up this smile I’m faking.” - Anemic Royalty
