Board looking for new state fair president

FRANKFORT, KY (WAVE) ? A committee has been set up to find a replacement for the president of the Kentucky State Fair Board.

A group met Thursday afternoon with Searchwide, a national company that seeks out candidates for convention centers and big hotels.

Harold Workman is set to retire at the end of the year.

The search committee, headed by Thomas Schifano, hopes to have it narrowed down to five candidates in mid September.
