Day Trips: 2008 Kentucky State Fair

The smells of the county fair bring it all back; it’s the oil burning in the air from the demolition derby and the grease puffing the elephant ears before they get puffed with sugar and the heat, the heat makes the animals less nervous about being there, on the block, ready to go to the highest bidder because who cares when every time you move sawdust sticks in your fur and the water has been sitting there all day you could boil an egg or at least coddle it in that water and so go ahead and stick your finger in the cage or buy me/hog-tie me and throw me in the back of the truck, mebbe there’s water where we’re goin’ and then again maybe you’ll just put me out of my misery and either way, I just don’t care.

The 2008 Kentucky State Fair will be held August 14-24. The fair is held in and around Louisville’s Kentucky Exposition Center and features exhibits, rides, food, animals, entertainment and more. The website has applications for state fair exhibitors and information for advertisers who want a spot in official state fair publications online.

On a side note, I can’t get over how cool the posters for this event are, year after year. If you love really smart work by talented graphic designers, check out more Kentucky State Fair posters from past years online.
