“We’re excited to be where Kentucky comes together. From the talented exhibitors earning blue ribbons to long held family traditions, the Fair offers something for every Kentuckian. We have exciting new acts and exhibits this year and cannot wait to celebrate with our fairgoers,” said David S. Beck, President and CEO of Kentucky Venues.
