With 120 years of history, there’s a lot of tradition at the Kentucky State Fair — but that doesn’t mean it’s just the same old pony show this year.
Here’s a look at what’s new:
Rides
- The Samurai: A big swing ride that mimics a roller coaster. Officials promise it’s fun, as long as your stomach can handle it.
Eats
- Chili Cheese Corn Dog: A traditional corn dog, filled with chili and topped with cheese.
- Barbecue Pork Pizza: In addition to the meat, this pie comes with pickles and red onions on top.
- Smoked Meatloaf Sandwich: A thick slice of meatloaf topped with pepperjack cheese.
- Deep-fried Marshmallows: This sweet treat is topped with chocolate sauce + powdered sugar.
- The Pink Cow: Located on the Midway, this stand offers handmade milkshakes. Maybe wait to stop here until after you’ve ridden the Samurai.
Bonus: Check out the full menu of State Fair eats.
