"Today’s economy has prompted many farmers to stop raising tobacco and are instead supplementing their income with raising Beef Cattle. Kentucky has the largest inventory of beef cattle this side of the Mississippi River and continues to grow. The Beef Festival is a non-profit organization that works to promote and educate the public about the production, distribution and selling of beef from the farm to the marketplace. There are also many different types of vendors who come and showcase their wares. All vendors must fall into one of 4 categories – Agriculture, KY Proud, Arts & Crafts or Historical/Educational. There are also numerous activities outside of this signature event, which is the Grill-Off. There will be live entertainment, Kentucky Wine & Cheese Tasting, 5 K Run/Walk, Steak & Eggs Breakfast, Children’s Activities, Cornhole Tournament, Classic Car Show, Motorcycle Poker Run and numerous other smaller events. We invite you or anyone else in your community who enjoys grilling, to join us and celebrate Kentucky’s 3rd largest commodity – BEEF. We also extend the invitation to all interested vendors or those who would like to come and enjoy a great weekend of food and entertainment. Our website is fortharrodbeeffestival.org, which will provide the most information."
