HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair will have plenty of new things to see as the Great Kansas Get Together is now a little more than three months away.

With the State Fair Sales tax bill now law, board members settled in to hear about the many new things coming to the fair this year during their regular meeting Tuesday.

One new twist to the fair this year is a special event each day. Foodie Fest and Dillons Dollar Day will return, along with a similar event each day. Making Day will feature things made in Kansas; Team Spirit Day encourages visitors to wear their favorite team jersey; and Go Big or Go Home will encourage patrons who have looked over all of the vendors items to purchase one and take it home with them.

The fair will also feature LED screens. The screens will provide better viewing at concerts and give a rundown of schedules and events near the White House and show barns.

The fair will also have special presentations from Encore, Inc., which will do a laser light show after the first weekend concerts.

Interim GM Bob Moeder says the fair is heading for a possible record year when it comes to sponsorship. Exhibitor and concert ticket sales are up 114 percent from this time last year.

The Kansas State Fair begins Sept. 7.
