There seems to be a great turnout overall. The state fair offers several activities visitors can participate in to enhance their fair experience. See the fair Fair runs today-Sept. Buildings open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets also can be purchased at all Dillons stores in Kansas.
Parking is free.
Instead of quick walks through the livestock barns, fairgoers will have the opportunity to get a closer look at the animals, Anderson said. After viewing the livestock, visitors will have the opportunity to judge and render their own verdicts as to the best animal in each category. Presentations then will be given on the criteria used to judge livestock by fair officials. In addition to the judging, barn tours also will be given daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., allowing fairgoers to see and learn about the different animals shown at the fair. While the fair has much to offer in the way of farm-related exhibits, it does not lack music or special events.
