Welcome to the Bourbon County Fair and Horse Show

Bourbon County Fair will have pageants for Miss Pre Teen, Miss Teen and Miss Bourbon County Fair to represent Bourbon County Fair at the Kentucky State Fair Pageants for 2020.  The pageants are open to girls that reside in Bourbon County.  Signups are on the Pageant page on this website.





Due to the current COVID-19 guidance and social distancing restrictions set forth by the CDC and the Kentucky Department of Public Health we have decided to cancel the Bourbon County Fair for the 2020 season. This includes all activities hosted by the fair, all horse shows and livestock shows. The Bourbon County Fair will return for the 2021 season.
