The Kentucky State Fair returned to Louisville two weekends ago, wrapping up its festivities this past Sunday. Running from August 17th to the 27th, the fair opened just as a boiling heat wave made its way across the Central United States — the hottest in recent years.
High temperatures, however, did not stop the bustling crowds from enjoying both new and returning attractions the fair has to offer. Even on a Wednesday afternoon, attendees of all ages flocked to the various indoor and outdoor areas on the fairgrounds.
From bizarre foods and live music to carnival rides and farm animals, here is a recap of an action-packed afternoon at the fair.
