HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There have been some delays, the last of them due to illness, but the State Fair sign on Main is finished before visitors come for the basketball tournaments.
State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz sent Hutch Post a photo of the functioning sign Tuesday. This is just one of many upgrades going on throughout the Fairgrounds, including asphalt work, HVAC work for the Oz Gallery and Centennial Hall and a new overall PA system for the Fairgrounds to use for emergency messages.
All of those upgrades plan to be finished in time for the 2023 Fair, along with the House of Capper project, though all ongoing projects are at the whim of supply chain delays that may change which months things are finished in.
The Kansas State Fair will run from Sept. 8-17. The next major event on the grounds is the Kansas Ag Expo, scheduled for Saturday, March 30 through April 1.
