HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair announced its winners of the sidewalk chalk art contest. The contest was held in conjunction with the Hutchinson Art Center as a way to keep people engaged with the fair during this downtime.
The adult winner was Lauren Muzingo-Boring of Wichita and the youth winner was 11-year-old Harlee Hamby.
The Fair’s competitive exhibits department came up with the idea and explored having a sidewalk chalk competition during the Fair. With social distancing and people being encouraged to stay at home, the Fair decided to make the competition virtual and team up with Hutchinson Art Center in an effort to give Kansans a creative outlet.
Hamby will receive one State Fair Kids' Pack and Muzingo-Boring wins a Season Pass. The art center is providing a gift bag for each winner, as well.
