The United Trappers of Kentucky fall meet is once again upon us. This year we will be coming to you western Kentucky members so if you haven’t been to one of our meets in a while make plans to come out. The meet will be held at the Livingston County Fairgrounds in Smithland, Ky on Oct 6-7, 2017. Friday will be a big day so try to make it out for both days. We have a good lineup of dealers and demos by nationally known and regional professionals covering many topics. We also expect to have several private tailgaters on the grounds selling their wares. Off course there will be activities for the kids as well. Food will be available from a local food vendor both days on the grounds. Camping on the fairground is permitted but no fires.
There are no motels in Smithland but here is a list of the nearest ones.
Patti’s Inn and Suites located off I-24 at Grand Rivers (closest) 270-928-2740 66.00 per night
Americas Best value Inn at LBL 270-928-2700 52.00 per night
