Kentucky Kid’s State Fair gets cancelled

CORBIN — Special to the Times-Tribune

An event tentatively scheduled at The Arena has been cancelled due to the management transition from SMG to the City of Corbin.

A statement released Wednesday by the promoter and city representatives said the Kentucky Kid’s State Fair, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 19-23, will not be held.

“It is unfortunate that our event would fall within this critical time period,” Phil Smith, event promoter, said. “A lot of time and effort has gone into the planning and preparation of this event.”  

City attorney Bob Hammons said, “Our staff will not be in place until the 16th of October and would not be ready to facilitate an event this quickly.”

Smith said he plans to continue his relationship with the City of Corbin once city officials select the venue’s new manager.
