Sights And Sounds Of The 2021 Ky. State Fair

By Breya Jones
Published September 1, 2021 at 9:41 PM EDT

The 2021 Kentucky State Fair has come to an end; relive the sights and sounds of the fair in three parts: food, rides and animals. 

Remember this image of WFPL's Breya Jones checking out Kentucky pork products and ordering a Porkchop sandwich. Things are gonna get awkward later.

9-year-old Jace at the top of Astro-Fear. Moments after this; Jace realized he may have made a mistake.

Round and round and upside.

Ryan Van Velzer | wfpl.orgWhat this image couldn't capture is how big these mules were; the biting sign only added to the fear.

"Mooooveeee"

Reba the sheep getting primed for her showing later in the day.

It got awkward.

Goats are among the many types of livestock that will shown at Kentucky State Fair.
A child showing goats at the fair said some of them had gotten out earlier; this one looks like it's plotting.
