KANSAS STATE FAIR

We've been to the Kansas State Fair and are going back. We invite you to come, too.

The new improvements are wonderful! We like Cotttonwood Court ( former commercial building), the fair's air-conditioned indoor food court. With its eleven venders and enough big round tables in the middle to seat 800, it makes all us diners seem like one big happy family.

You won't recognize the newly air-conditioned Domestic Arts Building. Quilts never looked better. It sports a new demonstration kitchen and much needed restrooms.

Watching the teenagers whip out their $20 bills on the midway Friday night was a hoot.

You can't beat the weather--Saturday's crowd was huge.

Come to the Party on the Prairie, the one and only Kansas State Fair!
