Kentucky State Fair Ham Sells for $10M | Louisville News

The Kentucky State Fair’s Grand Champion Ham sold for a record-shattering $10 million—same as last year, still the second-highest ever. The Craft family, Central Bank, and University of Kentucky led the bidding, but this year brought a surprise twist: UK basketball star Malachi Moreno threw in a $5 million bid. The hefty 16.72-pound ham, cured by Clifty Farm, will fund local charities including the Boys & Girls Club and Barren County FFA. With Coach Pope and other UK players in attendance, the auction remains a beloved community spectacle—and a powerhouse fundraiser.
