HUTCHINSON, Kan. — James Fisher with the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation is sure the venue is going to be ready to go for Friday's start of the Kansas State Fair. 

"On any building project, there's always those last few details," Fisher said. "Especially when you're not only building a building, but starting a business, it's all of those last minute details that can't be done until the last minute that we're doing right now."

Training of event staff was taking place Friday, with an event for board members Tuesday before the fair kicks off Sept. 6.

"During the fair, it's a food, beverage, and entertainment venue," I think someplace where you can come grab some great food, have sat down, have a comfortable conversation in a climate controlled venue, non-fair it's a corporate and wedding event venue is kind of how we're terming it, but it's just a really nice venue."

The interior of the venue is absolutely stunning.

"There's nothing like this anywhere in the region," Fisher said. "That's kind of what we're looking for, is that kind of response."
