Well took my 6yr old grand son and he loved the Trout tank....no charge other that the 8.00 parking (thats wack) the ticket wasnt bad 7.00 at kroger ....but we saw the KY game wardens had a hunting game and my grandson wanted to play it but some older gentlemen was playing and didn't seem to care who was waiting.....but we had an OK time....like most have said its a Boat show not a tackle swap.....lol
I need to go fishin....
Keep in mind folks that you cannot blame the show for the price of parking, thank your Kentucky State fair Board for that little gem. They have been raising it almost yearly. The boat show, or any other events do not get any money from the parking.
I enjoyed the show. Took the family and my kids enjoyed the bungee trampoline, shooting bows, casting contest, and the trout tank (they both caught a fish). We went friday night got one ticket from Kroger $7 and the wife got hers at the door $5 dollars ladies night... kids were free. We enjoyed looking at the rv's and some of the boats. Especially liked the canoe KY booth and picked up a few jigs. All in all no great tackle but a fun time for the family.
