The Western Kentucky State Fair has teamed up with a Georgia company to donate $10,000 to tornado relief efforts in western Kentucky.
According to a news release, Drew Expositions of Augusta, Georgia was very excited to partner with the WKSF on this donation. Drew Expositions is the carnival that has been coming to Hopkinsville for many years and wanted to help support those affected in an area they have been a part of for a long time.
The $10,000 will be donated evenly between Christian and the four bordering counties of Caldwell, Hopkins, Muhlenberg and Todd.
WKSF President Kent Boyd says, “After a successful 2021 State Fair, we felt it was important for us to give back to the community that has been so good to us. Drew Expositions should be commended for stepping up and donating money for our area. They are definitely a class act.”
