 HILLVIEW - The summer solstice annually brings the most daylight to the Earth.

The Bullitt County Health Department recognizes that opportunity as the most time each year to go outside and play.

The 2016 Longest Day of Play event was hosted at the Little Flock Community Center.

Patrons had an opportunity to participate in many outdoor activities and sports, such as soccer, Frisbee, nine-square, cornhole and more.

    CLERMONT -- Mother Nature may have yet again played a role in a county fair that saw a dip in its normal attendance numbers.
    “We don’t have an exact total yet, but we had around 10,000 people total,” said Bullitt County Fair president Jimmy Anderson.
    While 10,000 is more than last year’s rain-drenched attendance, Anderson said it is still starkly smaller than previous fairs during his tenure.

 CLERMONT -- Sounds of rejoice echo throughout Bullitt County as fair board president Jimmy Anderson utters those four magic words: “Pork chops are back.”

That is right, fairgoers, the much loved pork chops will make their valiant return to the fair on the afternoon of Friday, June 17, after spending a few years on vacation.

Pork chops are just one of the fair favorites returning to the Bullitt County Fair, though.

The Bullitt County Fair runs June 13-18.

            HILLVIEW - It has become a way to experience some summer fun, close to home, and help a few worthwhile charities at the same time.
    The Hillview City Fair returns for the sixth consecutive year to the Hillview Government Center June 9-11, presented by the Zoneton Trowel Club.
    “It’s the premiere event in northern Bullitt County, said Trowel Club treasurer Harlen Compton. “It’s the fair experience in your own back yard.”
