Huge meeting of drivers and exhibitors! This year it seemed to be better attended than the last time I went, and the Truck Parking Lot at Pappa John's Stadium was closest to full I have ever seen it, as well as so well organized by the drivers who simply worked hard and stepped up to give their food and help...

We did a trade show for three days here. This facility is a disgusting pit!!! Very unorganized and unbelievably dirty. I don't think they cleaned the bathrooms all week......very gross and smelled!!!!

Always attend the flea markets. Large roomy even when crowded. Several exhibits through out the year. HOT rods, gun and knife shows. Flea Market is my favorite.

If you want a RV park close to alot of things this would be it. Nothing fancy, but they have 30 amp 50 amp and water. Some spots have sewer. You will park on Asphalt so you don't have to worry about muddy foot prints. Fees are $50 per night.

Nice place. Went for a dog show. Lots of parking. Staff kept the facility very clean. Good lighting. Good heat ..it was 35 degrees outside but the facility was very comfortable. Good lighting. Lots of space for all the events. The parking was a bit pricey...$8.00 per day or a $12/day pass with in/out privileges. Clean bathrooms with paper towel... More

I have to so many events at the fairgrounds and they have all been great. Never miss the State Fair or concerts. Only drawback is parking during fair is terrible with very long walks. Exhibit area is fantastic with lots of room to spread things out. One of my favorite places to go for events.

This would have been a 4 review had the food lines been a little shorter. Here are the positives: Very clean, helpful workers,shuttle, variety of vendors and places to eat. We were warned the food was pricey so we were prepared. The portions were larger than expected, so if you share with someone your money will go farther. I had... More

This was the site of a volleyball tournament in which my granddaughter played. Parking lot personnel could not handle the volume of traffic --- they definitely need additional staffing for events such as this one! Food service was bad, bad, bad -- at best. Nothing healthy here, even though it was an event for athletes. Not enough vendors to handle... More

I attend many events here during the year, including gun, car and horse shows as well as the Kentucky State fair. Plenty of parking and good traffic control. Can they handle crowds!
