HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas State Fair General Manager Ed Berger reminded residents of the Fair Food and Tunes event coming up this weekend.
"We're very excited about it," Berger said. "We call it, kind of like a mini fair. It's Fair Food and Tunes. It's Saturday, April 10 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and we're going to have entertainment that begins at 1 p.m. Every hour, we'll have a different entertainer. It's all going to be at beautiful Lake Talbott, something I don't think you want to miss."
The food will be what you remember, as well.
"We'll have Pronto Pups, funnel cakes, kettle corn, brisket, german sausage, hamburgers, adult beverages," Berger said. "That's about anything you could possibly look for as far as fair food. Again, it's kind of like a mini fair. The slide will be open. It's going to be an exciting time on Saturday."
People are coming in from a long way for the event, too.
"We've had so much interest in it, really across the region," Berger said. "I think we had a group from Colorado that said they were bringing in ten motorcoaches and they were going to be here for the event, for the entire event. That's the kind of interest and excitement we're getting with Fair Food and Tunes. We did something similar in August of last year. It was a great success."
It's free to attend, but some of the parking close to the venue is $5.
