LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky State Fair's annual Country Ham Breakfast is more than a fundraiser. It's a chance for Kentucky's politicos to see and be seen.

Once again, the winning bid for this year's ham came from Kelly and Joe Craft and Lexington-based Central Bank. They bid a record-setting $5 million to walk away with this year's ham.

Craft, a former UN Ambassador under President Trump, has said she's considering a run for governor.

"You know what, I am focused on just buying this ham and actually I'm going to be heading to Breathitt County right after I leave here and we're going to be doing some back-to-school shopping," Craft said.
