Since 1950, when the Kentucky State Fair Board began construction on one of the greatest and largest exposition facilities of its kind in the world - the Kentucky Exposition Center - the Kentucky State Fair Board has been at the forefront of Kentucky tourism development. Today, the Kentucky State Fair Board, an agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, operates two of the largest facilities in the state - the Kentucky Exposition Center and the Kentucky International Convention Center.
