KENTUCKY NEW ERA
The 63rd annual Western Kentucky State Fair kicks off Friday in Hopkinsville and runs through July 6. And in addition to the familiar pageants, tractor pulls, fireworks and midway, there will be a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
The traveling wall is an 80-percent replica of the memorial in Washington, D.C. Fair-goers will be able to spend time viewing the wall, taking etchings and leaving flowers or mementos like visitors at the memorial in the nation’s capital.
