The Kentucky State Fair kicks off today in the Ville, and here's your survival guide:

  • Eat like a champion: From deep-fried Oreos to donut burgers to corn dogs to bourbon-infused everything, pace yourself.

  • Ride the rides: Feel the wind in your hair and the funnel cake in your stomach.

  • Admire the livestock: Because who doesn't love a good cow beauty pageant?

  • Win a prize: Try your luck at the games—just don't expect to leave with a goldfish.

  • Enjoy the shows: From acrobats to Blue Oyster Cult, there's magic in the air.

  • Stay hydrated: With lemonade, of course.

Remember, it's not just a fair; it's a Kentucky tradition. So grab your boots, your appetite, and your sense of humor. The Kentucky State Fair awaits! Check our guide for more tips.
