Adair Co. Fair honored at annual convention

By Greg Thomas

At the annual 2020 Kentucky Association of Fairs and Horse Shows annual convention the Adair County Fair was awarded the 2019 Zone 2, Division B, Most Progressive Fair Award.

This award is judged in four categories: livestock entries, horse entries, food, crop, and youth entries approved for state aid, plus money spent on entries not approved for state aid. Each of the above categories are compared both as a number and percent increase or decrease from the previous year. Also considered are promptness of reports and catalog ratings.



The state is divided into three zones with each zone having two divisions based on population. Division A is counties with populations under 20,000 and Division B is counties with populations over 20,000. County fairs compete for The Most Progressive Fair Awards within their respected zones and divisions. An overall winner and runner-up are selected from the six winning counties using the same comparisons.

General upcoming Fair information
Since the Bank of Columbia's donation of land for use as a new fairground the public has been asking what's next. The Adair County Fair Association is happy to announce that we are in negotiations to have a Carnival on that site in June. During the second week of June our schedule has plans for a 4 to 5 day carnival on the new location, pageants and other events at the pavilion, as before, with dates to be announced for the cattle shows and floral hall soon. All will tie into bringing back the traditional Adair County Fair.

We are moving forward in working to have a full fair again and excited to provide this for the community. We are hoping by next summer we'll have something for the whole family all in one location. If you would like to assist or donate in any way to this community event please contact Anthony Brockman at (270) 634-4446.
