western industry.

community and further help showcase the importance of ag tourism as an
economic driver Hutchinson”, said Holly Leiker, Director of National Sales & Sports Events for Visit Hutch The show will be located in Meadowlark and Sunflower South buildings, along with numerous outdoor exhibits at the Kansas State Fairgrounds.
