  • Kentucky State Fair Board
    Kentucky State Fair Board Program Review and Investigations Committee Sen. Christian McDaniel, Co-chair Rep. Martha Jane King, Co-chair Sen. Tom Buford Rep. Leslie Combs Sen. Perry B. Clark Rep. Jim DeCesare Sen. Ernie Harris Rep. David Meade Sen. Jimmy Higdon Rep. Terry Mills Sen. Dorsey Ridley Rep. Ruth Ann Palumbo Sen. Dan “Malano” Seum Rep. Rick Rand Sen. Whitney Westerfield Rep. Arnold Simpson Greg Hager, PhD Committee Staff Administrator Project Staff Christopher T. Hall William Spears Research Report No. 417 Legislative Research Commission Frankfort, Kentucky lrc.ky.gov Adopted November 13, 2014 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative format by request. Abstract The Kentucky State Fair Board, an agency of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, operates two event facilities in Louisville: the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) and the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC). KEC is the sixth largest event facility in the US. The fair board’s revenue, which was nearly $46 million in FY 2013, comes primarily from hosting events at these facilities. Its expenditures in FY 2013 were nearly $55 million, for an $8.8 million deficit. From FY 2007 to FY 2013, KICC operated at a deficit all 7 years and KEC operated at a deficit for 4 years. The fair board received state appropriations in 4 of the 7 years. A sampling of US event facilities indicates that most have little or no net revenue. The Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau calculated the economic impact for approximately half of the fair board’s 2013 events to be $277 million. A review of US event facilities with at least 100,000 square feet of exhibit space shows that two-thirds, including the fair board’s facilities, are publicly owned and operated, with in-house staff used to provide some services and contract labor used for others.
