UkHam-bassadors: State fair charity auction nets $10M for prized ham
The 61st Annual Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Country Ham Breakfast and Charity Auction at the Kentucky State Fair on Thursday brought in a combined winning bid of $10 million in support of Kentucky charities, continuing the longstanding tradition of generosity that has made this event one of the commonwealth’s most anticipated gatherings.
During the live auction led by auctioneer Rylan Shea, dozens of attendees eagerly bid for a chance to take home the prized ham. Eventually, Kelly and Joe Craft and Central Bank combined their bids and will each donate $5 million to causes across Kentucky. This year’s Grand Champion Country Ham, weighing in at 16.5 pounds, was produced by Josh Poling of Broadbent’s Country Hams in Kuttawa.
