County officials claim the area is the "Elk Capital of The East" and say the animal plays an important role in tourism for the county.
More than 40 vendors are set up at the expo with information on a variety of elk related activities.
You can also find guns, wild game cookbooks, and crafts.
Randy Thompson, Knott County Judge Executive says, “People will pay to do what we do for free and people will come in and spend there money and that's what we want them to do and take advantage of this, we just have a beautiful part of the country.”
The event runs until nine Friday night and is open from eight to five Saturday.

CRYSTAL, Have you ever taken a grammar or spelling class? If so, did you sleep through it? We can't make people spend their money in Knott County, we can just give them the opportunity to do so by offering events like the Elk Expo and the Trail Ride. Then negative idiots like you make people not want to come here at all. People with your attitude and views are what has kept Knott County in the Dark Ages. Its so good we have new leadership thats bringing a little light and new opportunities to our little county. You need to wake up, you're now in the minority.

I attended the Elk Expo and was really glad I did. There were people from all over in attendance. Crystal needs to get a life and stop criticizing everyone else and try to make life better for herself as well as others...It may not be "big" business yet, but we have to start somewhere...and this seems like a good one. We have to take what we have and try to build on it. If you did not attend, don't sit at home and spew bitterness at the world...Again, I enjoyed the Expo and look forward to a bigger show next time.
