HUTCHINSON — The Kansas State Fair might be canceled, but deep-fried cuisine will live on for one weekend in August.
State Fair food lovers will still be able to get their fix of Pronto Pups, funnel cakes, fried Oreos and much more during the Fair’s Food and Tunes Weekend Aug. 21 and 22. The event is sponsored by the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation.
A dozen vendors will be featured in the event. Along with the fair foods available for purchase, a special evening of tunes will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22.
The Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation also will have a booth selling T-shirts and taking donations for the Fair’s current Kansas Cares About the Fair Campaign. The Fair is a fee-funded agency that survives on the income it makes from each Fair. With the lack of anticipated revenue after the 2020 Fair was canceled, the Foundation is helping to raise funds to ensure the Fair tradition continues for future generations.
