HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair announced the Fairified Golden Ticket Giveaway winner on Monday, July 29th at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.
Julie Bugner-Smith was given the Golden Ticket by Kansas State Fair mascot, Ike the Bison and Kansas State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz.
The Fairified Golden Ticket Giveaway is new in 2024 and offers Bugner-Smith and her husband the ultimate experience for the 2024 Fair, including $2,000+ worth of gate, ride, and concert tickets and featured vendor items.
"We have grandchildren now," Bugner-Smith said. "We'll probably take them. They are just about old enough, they are seven and five, to kind of experience the fair. They've gone once, but you know, they've been little, they really haven't gone to all the rides and done all the food and everything, Old Mill ride and the exhibits and everything. This will be fun for us to take them."
Bugner-Smith and her husband will also be able to attend two concerts during the fair. The promotion was really well received with 9500 entries for the single golden ticket prize.
The Kansas State Fair is less than 40 days away. It runs Sept. 6-15 in Hutchinson.
