Just got in about an hour or so ago from the Kentucky Fair Meeting.
Well attended, I think they said 935 attendees, which is only down 30 from last year.
There were fewer shows represented this year, however, with the Tennessee Meeting going on at the same time.
Shows I either saw or noticed their signs were Myers International, Kissel Entertainment, Casey's Rides, Playland Amusements, Paradise Amusements, Fiesta Rides, Murray Brothers and Gene O'Rides. NAME's Jeff Blomsness was there on Thursday evening as well. Otherwise, that's about it on the shows represented. As far as I can remember, this is the lowest number of shows that have participated.
All in all, it was a very positive and upbeat meeting. Most Kentucky fairs reported a small decrease in attendance last year, but nearly all had significant rain and felt the weather, more so than the economy, was the key factor in attendance drops.
