Kansas State Fair

RV parking with full hookups is a pleasure. Lots of room for longer rigs! All grass with paved roads. Water pressure wasn't much but ok. The area was reasonably level too. Very affordable!

One of the better state fairs I've to, try to hit a new state every year. It rivals Iowa. Great food options, great entertainment and a nice venue.

As a 4-H alumni, I've been coming to the state fair for many years and it is always something I've looked forward too, even now that I just come as visitor instead of a participant.Livestock shows are the first weekend, with showmanship kicking things off on Friday. In a nutshell, this is where kids are judged on how well they present and handle the animal. The kids work really hard all year to show on the "green shavings", so make sure you stop by and watch for a bit. Saturday they have the market animal shows, which is basically where they are judged on how good they would be for butchering. On Sunday they have the breeding animal shows, so they are judged on how good they would be for reproducing.If animals are really your thing, I suggest checking out the livestock birthing center. Usually they have a sow or two ready to give birth to piglets at any time, and they usually have 2-3 cows that are ready to give birth as well. If you get the chance to see one of those give birth, I suggest it. It is so so neat. They also have ducklings, goats, and lambs there.In addition, there are tons of other project exhibits to see - chickens, rabbits, arts & crafts, sewing, photography, cooking, etc.. There are also lots of exhibitors to stop by and shop at - handbags, snacks, cookware, clothing, etc. There are rides you can go on like the sky lift and the train. There are bounce houses too. Also, every weekend night they have a concert - this year Jake Owen will be playing the second weekend, I think he is the big one to perform this year. Obviously everyone's favorite part though is the food. You will gain 15 pounds on your trip here, weather it's in root beer, nachos,cheese curds, funnel cakes, or just fried food in general.

I have been to fairs/festivals/fests in a few states and as many countries. KSF is the best. Perhaps it is because it is everything that is America that makes it so amazing.KSF is a glimpse into the daily lives of people in America who work. Who create. Who give. Who care and most importantly, what makes America great. If you find you young child wanting to wear skinny jeans, play video games all day or generally suffering from the debilitating de-masculinization of America that is spreading, bring them here to learn about what makes a true American. If look in the mirror one day and realize that you are a taker, live off of the government without making an attempt to better your situation, come to the KSF. From the fried Twinkie's to the Bbq, to the local corn on the cob to the amazing fried corn-dog things this place has it all. Let's not forget about the concerts. Each year the KSF Board does an amazing job of finding up and coming talent and presenting them to the great state of Kansas at prices a 1/4 of what you would pay anywhere else.People are polite. The atmosphere is relaxed and it is just a great experience for all ages.

The Best State Fair in the Land.....AND I have been to a lot of themIt is always the first Friday after Labor Day and last for 10 days.

This fair trumps Missouri and Nebraska and is in the same class as Iowa. I'm a city girl who can't tell one soybean from the next but that doesn't matter. It's STILL fun to play amateur livestock judge. The entertainment worked and was relevant - timber sports, cowboy shootout, informative barn tours and a whole barn dedicated to baby animals and their births which was SUPER neat. And the food? Yeah. PRO TIP - skip the boiled eggs at the Hampton and go early for biscuits and gravy in the air conditioned bakery.

Hmmm, how to describe the Kansas State Fair? Here are a few words that come to mind: Greasy. Filthy. Noisy. Poo-scented. LOVE!!!!!1!!!The Fair comes to Hutchinson every September and brings with it rowdy cowboys, horrendous traffic, RV's by the hundreds and hillbillies from all over the state. It's loud and obnoxious and absolutely wonderfull!NOTHING happens in Hutchinson, so the Fair is a big deal--I know my junior high and early high school years centered around the fair and who I was going to make out with on the ferris wheel. Anyway, as with any state fair, the KS State Fair celebrates the best of Kansas. People from all over Kansas bring in their giant vegetables, biggest animals, and their gawdy artwork to be voted on for prizes. There are rides, games, concerts, rodeos, vendor buildings, art shows, petting zoos, and oh, the food!! Bring your entire family or just a date--there's something for everyone. Stop by after nine and get free admission.Here are the top 10 things you MUST do if you ever make it to the Kansas State Fair: 1. Eat a Pronto Pup. 2. Take a ride on Ye Olde Mill. 3. See Styx in concert (I swear, they show up every year). 4. See the sculpture made entirely of butter. 5. Ride a rickety ride or two and pray that it doesn't fall apart while you're on it. 6. Hold a newborn piglet in the petting zoo. 7. Get drunk in one of the beer gardens. 8. Check out the craft buildings and laugh at the Macaroni Jesus. 9. Drink THE BEST root beer you will ever have in your life.10. Eat another Pronto Pup. And then a Monkey Tail.

So many different vendors of food. Great variety! Some attractions are the same some are different every year. Security is FANTASTIC with Law Enforcement from all over the state of Kansas. Hope to see you there.

The sausage was tough and old.The hamper would be the sitting in a PAN for a long time.I could have saved half my money by the just stopped at the convenience store before I came and got something out and hitting it in the microwave.Stay away from this place cross on this flash pad
