Kentucky State Fair Announces 2021 Dates

Last year we saw pretty much every event get shut down (fairs were canceled, concerts were canceled, the Fall Festival was canceled, you get the point).  But this year it's finally like we're seeing a bit of a light at the end of this pandemic tunnel. As vaccine rates are going up, and COVID cases trending down, it seems like we may see some normalcy by later this year.

I know so many people missed the annual county fairs, and state fairs that happen each year. There's just something about a warm summer night and a lemon shakeup from the fair that just feels right.  Good news, Kentucky State Fair which takes place in Louisville each year, just announced they'll be back in 2021.

I am so excited to enjoy funnel cakes and dole whips once again, because it's been too long!
