Fair exceeds previous attendance numbers

Western Kentucky State Fair Board President Kent Boyd said attendance at this year’s fair reached 40,974, topping attendance numbers that he said were in the lower 30,000s two years ago, in 2019. Last year’s event was canceled due to COVID-19, one of the hardest decisions that Boyd said he’s ever been a part of making. The financial loss in 2020 made it difficult. But Boyd said the board got through it, and he noted that the 2021 event was fantastic. “Everybody loves the fair,” he said, observing that the nine-day event did exceptionally well this year, with everyone wanting to get out and do something.
