HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz is ready for the first 'normal' year since he got to Hutchinson 13 months ago.
"There's a lot of fun that goes on, but we also have a lot of events that we assist with," Schulz said. "Our board is very active out here. They're going to be out here all 10 days. They've got areas that they oversee and events that they will be at. It's kind of, the conductor is coming out now. Everybody in the orchestra is in their seats and now it's just getting everything going."
There are no required COVID precautions, but you can take them if you want to.
"We are still having the opportunity for people, if they want masks, we'll have them in the buildings, if that's where they feel comfortable, if that's what they want to do," Schulz said. "We are not mandating it. People still believe in the social distancing. We're expecting in that 325,000 to 350,000 over the ten days. That's our normals. It would be phenomenal to have our first big fair out of COVID with even bigger numbers."
