HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair grandstand has seen hundreds of musicians and comedians during its 107-year history.

This year, the Kansas State Fair Museum exhibit will highlight many of those famous entertainers such as Evil Knievel who jumped a line of semi trucks in 1971.

The museum is also asking for any memorabilia you may have to share from a previous grandstand event that they could display during the fair.
