Was it because it was too hot? Was it because the kids were all back in school? Wellllll...it's ALWAYS hot in Kentucky in mid-August and the kids are ALWAYS back in school in Kentucky in mid-August.

Whatever the reason, the Kentucky State Fair saw its lowest attendance in 30 years in 2014. There were about 100,000 fewer attendees this summer than in 2013.

The fair board obviously wants to know what happened.

Consequently, the board's chairman has organized a committee to find out what went wrong, if anything.

Now, if weather was the cause--there was a lot of rain during the run of fair--I'm not sure what a committee is going to come up with.

I have no input as I have not attended the fair since 2005. That's because my vacation always falls during that time.

But, you know, the last time I was there, it was in the middle of a rainy week and I recall no stories about historic low attendance.

Did YOU go to the fair?

What did you think?
