Trigg Co. Ham Festival this weekend

Officials in Trigg County are hoping for nice weather this weekend when thousands of tourists will converge on Cadiz for the annual Ham Festival.

Festivities will run from mid-morning until late in the evening through Sunday, with a busy agenda including free music shows from various genres. As always, there will be vendor booths selling crafts and other items in addition to the various types of foods available.

The always popular “Kentucky’s largest ham biscuit” will be done sometime around 8:30 Saturday and attendees can purchase a piece for themselves.

Legendary country music group “Confederate Railroad” will be the featured entertainment Saturday evening at 6:30 on the main stage downtown. Also making an appearance at the Ham Festival is Kentucky Educational Television, which will record “Bluegrass and Backroads” Saturday morning and afternoon.

The Ham Festival concludes Sunday evening at 5pm.
