 Eastern Kentucky tourism showcases rich culture and beauty at Kentucky State Fair. I love the Kentucky State Fair. It is one of the best fairs probably in the country. But we have such great attendance. People are very excited. Everyone's looking to have a good time. And so it's a perfect opportunity to tell them how much fun they can have in our counties, too. The region's tourism departments have collaborated to create a captivating booth at the Kentucky State Fair running from August 17th to 27th. It is all about getting these visitors of 600,000 people to visit our homeland that we call home. As visitors step into the booth, they will find different areas representing various facets of Eastern Kentucky's heritage. We have folks here from quilters to painters to jewelry makers that are here representing Eastern Kentucky. We've had really good conversations with people who want that outdoor adventure. They want the history of the highway. They're music enthusiasts and they really want to come and visit Eastern Kentucky. Are you ready for a new school year?

A focal point of the booth is a touching guest book tribute to the late Eastern Kentucky native Loretta Lynn. We've had dozens and hundreds of people sign that guest book, you know, rest in peace, Miss Lynn. I've seen you in concert in 82 or I learned Co-Munters song sitting on the front porch of my grandmother's house. So it brings back memories. They're they're signing that guest book that we get the honor of sending to Loretta Lynn's family at the end of this two at the end of this state fair. So so much goes into it. Not only bringing people to Eastern Kentucky, but never forgetting the ones that went before us as the Kentucky State Fair continues. Don't miss the opportunity to take a break from the excitement and immerse yourself in the charm of Eastern Kentucky reporting for mountaintop news. I'm Ethan Miller.
