Freddy Farm Bureau Off To The Fair

  • {Kentucky}...With his clothes freshly pressed and a seemingly endless array of agricultural trivia at his giant fingertips, Freddy Farm Bureau is ready to take a short leave from life on the farm and spend some quality time with the many visitors at the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville, August 18-28. Freddy, seated comfortably on his hay bale on the front porch of Freedom Hall during the state fair, has become an icon at the annual event. This year will mark the 54th time Freddy Farm Bureau has greeted fairgoers with his warm smile and uncanny ability to work the crowd with his family-friendly banter. He enjoys sharing his knowledge of Kentucky agriculture with his visitors, but Freddy also takes his role as the most-recognizable greeter at the state fair very seriously. Over the years, Freddy Farm Bureau has become an unofficial meeting place for many fairgoers, allowing him to talk with literally thousands of people as they wait by his hay bale for their friends and family to arrive.
