 </figure>HUTCHINONSON, Kan. — A major livestock expo is staying in
Hutchinson through at least the next three years.The Kansas Beef Expo, Visit Hutch and the Kansas State
Fairgrounds have announced a three-year contract extension that keeps the
Winter Beef Expo in Hutchinson through 2022.&nbsp; Hutchinson and the Kansas
State Fairgrounds have been home to the Kansas Beef Expo since they moved the
show from Wichita in 1998.&nbsp;“The Kansas State Fairgrounds, City of Hutchinson and
the surrounding area have been phenomenal to work with for the Kansas Beef
Expo. Kansas has one of the best facilities to host a cattle event in all the
Mid-West. We are excited about continuing our relationship with the Kansas
State Fair and the Hutchinson area. As with the whole country, our industry has
faced much uncertainty throughout this year. We want to put something solid in
place to offer producers and youth from across the country a place to showcase
their livestock and we think Hutchinson, Kansas offers the perfect venue to do
just that”, Quint Huncovsky, Executive Director of the Kansas Beef Expo said.&nbsp;Each year the show brings
nearly 800 head of cattle to the Fairgrounds and hundreds of attendees to
Hutchinson for the weekend.&nbsp; The three-day show draws exhibitors from over
18 states and in 2019 registered exhibitors came from Canada.&nbsp; Some
represented states include Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado,
North Carolina, California, Iowa, Texas, and Wyoming.&nbsp; The show has
continued to grow over the years and is one for the premiere cattle shows in
the Midwest.&nbsp;“Our partnership with the Fairgrounds and the Beef
Expo spans over 20 years, and being able to grow the relationship is
fantastic.&nbsp; We always look forward to the second weekend in December when
the Fairgrounds and Hutchinson are filled with visitors, and we thrilled to get
the opportunity welcome everyone back for the next three years,” Holly
Leiker, National Sports &amp; Destination Sales Manager for Visit Hutch said.&nbsp;Future Kansas Beef Expo dates are December 11-13,
2020, December 10-12, 2021, and December 9-11, 2022.
