HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Our Lady of Guadalupe church will have several places where parishoners can serve you at the Kansas State Fair starting Friday.
"We've got three locations coming out of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish at the State Fair," said Fr. Eric Weldon. "The first one is at the Cottonwood Court, the OLG cafe, or the Guadalupe cafe. That will have the largest menu by number of menu items. Two different types of burritos, enchiladas, tacos, tamales and then two types of tostadas and of course, always rice and beans. The other two, the taco trailer, which is not even 100 yards from Cottonwood Court. That will have two types of burritos, beans and tacos al pastor. It sits right next to our country fair mart, which is like a convenience store on the prairie in the middle of the fairgrounds. You can pick up incidentals and necessaries that you might need that you forgot and you can get at the fair mart. All that benefit goes strictly to charity to the St. Rose of Lima society."
St. Rose of Lima is a charitable organization that helps with needs across the Hutchinson community.
"At the fair mart, you can get some aspirin or you can get some sunscreen, something like that, or even an umbrella," Weldon said. "Something you forgot, you can go there."
The food is what OLG is known for and has been for decades.
"We've been selling tacos since 1947," Weldon said. "Except for the COVID year, it's been a long run. It's a pretty exciting time. A lot of work, but a lot of excitement."
You'll be able to find the taco truck and the fair mart on Grandstand Avenue. Cottonwood Court is at the corner of Bison Blvd. and Cottonwood Lane.
