Picture from the past: 76 year old Green County fair pass 2012-02-25 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo from collection of Larry Smith. Larry Smith spotted this old fair pass, over three quarters of a century old years old now, among his memorabilia. He said it reminded him of just what a tradition the fair has been, how important it has been in his life and the lives of other Green Countians. The fair pass sparks questions: How old is the Green County Fair, and how long has it been held in its present location? With the prospect of the Taylor County Fairgrounds being moved from KY 68/KY 55 north of Campbellsville, KY, to a location on KY 55 south of Campbellsville, north of Columbia, there's also a question about how long county fairs have been held in present locations in Liberty, Russell Springs, Burkesville, Edmonton, Greensburg, Campbellsville, and Columbia. Maybe there's a location on the web for that information, but we could not find it, easily. It was too early in the morning to call late riser Larry Smith, who isn't on the job until after 5amCT each morning at The WAVE, FM 92.7. CM will post the information when we receive it, or when Larry Smith retrieves it from the recesses of his memory. -CM Permalink | Comments?
