You are welcome to seek rooms elsewhere. When searching for hotels in the Louisville area, make sure to look near the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center or the Louisville International Airport. The fairgrounds is situated less than a mile north of the airport on Phillips Lane (several hotels on this street). Crittenden Drive and Preston Highway are also in close proximity and have a few hotels.

The North American International Livestock Expo
NAILE is much more than an ordinary showcase of livestock. Throughout the show, visitors will enjoy the Giant Country Store with its nearly 150 commercial vendors selling everything from fine jewelry and food to western clothing and farm supplies. Global industry standards are annually established during the show as breeders merchandise bloodlines and genetics to local and international interests. Altogether, more than 140 shows, sales, breed meetings, entertainment events, and judging contests are held during the 14-day event.

The Giant Country Store is located in the North Wing. Store hours are 7:30 am - 6:00 pm on Saturday and 8:00 am - 6:00 pm on Sunday.

Livestock events that will take place during our contest are the Quarter Horse, dairy cattle, dairy goat, llama and alpaca shows.

Badges, Admission, and Parking Fees
All contestants and 1 coach per event per state will receive a badge that will allow you to enter the expo grounds at no cost.  Anyone else in your vehicle will need to pay an $8 admission fee. Season/Parking passes are available for sale, but we have found that will not necessarily save non-badge holders money. Vehicle parking passes are $8 per day and only needed for Saturday and Sunday. Friday entrance will not need a parking pass. Guests (anyone other than a contestant and the 1 coach) must pay an $8 admission per day.  We suggest that once you enter the grounds, give the badges to those that need to come and go during the day, or just plan to stay on the grounds. There are several places where meals can be purchased within the expo.

Awards Breakfast
All Contestants will receive a breakfast ticket at no charge, however coaches and guests must pay $20 per ticket. Tickets may be pre-purchased up until October at Registration on Friday at 6pm or at the Silent Auction table on Saturday with cash or check payable to NAILE.

Places to Eat/Things to Do
The best website to find this type of information is www.gotolouisville.com. If you want to stay close, we recommend a visit to Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum (located on Central Ave.). A great place to eat is the Cardinal Hall of Fame Cafe located on Crittenden Drive.
