The Hardin County Tourism Team exhibited at the Kentucky State Fair, August 20-30, 2009. Our booth theme, "Hardin County Salutes Soldiers", paid tribute to the brave men and women in uniform. All aspects of the booth decor reflected the military theme. A Light British Fox Armored Car and a Historic Military Helmet and Body Armor Display were a part of the exhibit thanks to the General George Patton Museum on Fort Knox. The booth also featured a 1935 DeSoto Airflow which was on loan from Swope's Cars of Yesteryear Museum of Elizabethtown. The winner of the huge basket filled with souvenirs from Hardin County was John Mullins from Jeffersonville, Indiana. More than 60 volunteers from across the County staffed the booth during the 11-day event.

The exhibit was coordinated and sponsored by: The Elizabethtown Tourism & Convention Bureau and the Radcliff/Fort Knox Convention and Tourism Commission.
