Trigg County Country Ham Festival in Cadiz, Kentucky...better known as Hamtown USA


	Welcome to the OFFICIAL Home of the Trigg County Country Ham Festival! The 34th Trigg County Country Ham Festival! October 8 - 9 - 10, 2010

The Trigg County Country Ham Festival is in its 34th year of celebration! So how did celebrating a "ham" come about? Below is a brief history of how it all began:

Prior to 1977, Farm-City week culminated in a bar-b-que dinner with a baking contest for county residents. While this was a wonderful time of fellowship and fun for the locals, it did not seem to be quite enough. University of Kentucky Agriculture Extension Agent, John Fourquean, did some brainstorming with other people in his office and two long time residents of the county, George Bleidt and Marvin Broadbent, Jr. It seemed that many other rural areas had festivals in either the spring or fall. Trigg County needed one also!!!!

Thus came the first Trigg County Country Ham Festival. Trigg County has long been noted for its delicacy - the country ham. A festival to preserve the craft of curing hams seemed only appropriate.

Please, No Pets Allowed at the Ham Festival

PLEASE - NO PETS except for those assisting with the visually impaired.
