More than 41,000 visitors passed through the gates of the Western Kentucky State Fair this year.
Fair board President Brad Hewell says 6,245 patrons attended the fair Saturday night for the UCW Wrestling and the final night of the Mid-South Truck and Tractor Pulls. Total fair attendance was 41,384, which was down from 2,672 visitors in 2023. Hewell said they were very satisfied with fair attendance this year considering there were no events at the grandstand on opening night and the fair was rained out on Wednesday night.
