While the VIP Reception is significantly more casual, it is just as special because it’s another opportunity for us to say, “Thanks for all you do.” We love our sponsors!
The Ruby Sponsorship includes more than that, too! Your Ruby Sponsorship also includes your logo (if available) listed on the homepage of the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation website. A lovely piece of digital real estate, if we do say so ourselves.
