The Kentucky State Fair Board voted Thursday to move forward with plans to have the fair in August while preparing to make potential adjustments due to the pandemic.
Kentucky Venues President and CEO David Beck in a statement said the state fair is an important event for thousands in the state, with the economic activity it creates having the potential to help the economy recover.
“While we will need to make adjustments to respond to COVID-19, we plan to produce as much of the Fair as safely possible. We look forward to once again being where Kentucky comes together,” Beck said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. At 79-years-old, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who has held his Senate seat since 1985, said he has no plans to retire. I don t think we are going to have a vacancy. I m not going anywhere. I just got elected to a six-year term and I m still the leader of my party in the Senate, said McConnell at a news conference in Kentucky earlier this week.
But if he were to have a change of heart, the Republican-led Kentucky state legislature has secured a veto-proof measure that blocks Democratic Governor Andy Beshear s ability to pick a replacement for Senator McConnell or junior Senator Rand Paul in the event of a vacancy.
