Today is opening day of the Kansas State Fair – and the first stop everyone needs to make is the “Official” Kansas State Fair Merchandise Booth. It’s located on Grandstand Avenue next to the Lair-Steckline Interactive Water Fountain. It is here where you will find the winning t-shirt designed by Darick Parson as well as new designs by Foundation staff artist Hannah Beam and contract artist Jason Becker.

The Official Merchandise store opens daily at 10 AM and closes at 8:30 PM on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday and at 7 PM Monday through Thursday.

You will definitely want to purchase a t-shirt, hoodie or beach towel this year!
