WELCOME
Thank you for visiting our site. We are pleased to provide you with
names of the county fairs, festivals and associates who provide
services needed in the process of making sure that you are entertained,
fed, recognized and assisted. Our association is here to serve the
members who are the fairs and festivals in Kansas and the associate
members who are so important to any fair. We depend on our associate
members to help us have the best fairs anywhere in the nation.
Our main event is the annual convention which is held at the
Ramada Inn in Topeka, Kansas, starting the Friday after the first
Monday in January of each year.
Fairs and Festivals in the state of Kansas are as American as
apple pie and home grown folks; they are classically shared in
conversations for their taste -- cotton candy, hot dogs and ice cream;
the distinct aromas -- barbecue and brats w/grilled onion and green
peppers; and from the smells that linger from the barnyard to the fresh
cut crops on exhibit. Ferris wheels, balloons and contests bring out
the kid in all of us. Kansas has a multitude of festivals earmarking
historical accomplishments. County fairs burst with tradition by
offering a myriad of ways to become involved from exhibiting a prized
tomato to bull riding. You can check out the 4-H programs presenting:
- Youth in leadership
- Youth in hands-on preparation of exhibits
- Youth in Public Presentations
- Youth learning Market Management
The many trails which historically run through Kansas since early
settlement of the state are widened and brought into a new dimension
through trails of education, agriculture, information and direction
which will enhance productivity, economic viability and leadership
capabilities for growth, development and quality of life.
The association invites you to browse through the list of
scholarship rules and presentations honored and extended by and through
the association to worthy youth in the state of Kansas. Dedicated
volunteers make up our association board, as do a voluminous number who
work together all over the state to make each fair and festival ready
for you to enjoy year after year.
Have a most informational tour of our site and we will see you
at our county fairs and festivals this year, made possible by our
associate members working behind the scenes to make the whole event
fun, fantastic and flavored to your liking. BUT, of course, without you
there is no need for a fair, festival or Kansas Fairs and Festivals
Association.
