Special Projects
The Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation is always working to fulfill our purpose of furthering the renovation, construction, preservation and beautification of the Kansas State Fairgrounds. This means that we regularly have large and exciting projects in the works. The Capper Project was a historic project that was completed in 2023.
Projects on the Horizon
We are always looking to the future! The next projects coming soon include the Fountain House Rennovation (which you can be a part of with the T.A.G. Program! See below), the Bison Building Ag Innovation Center and the 1861 Club.
T.A.G. : Together Achieving Greatness
The Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation T.A.G. Team Program wants to bring like-minded, Fair-loving individuals together to accomplish small renovation projects on the historic Kansas State Fairgrounds.
The goal is to engage 500 donors to make an immediate, positive and direct impact by tackling the renovation of the Fountain House located next to the Lair-Steckline Interactive Water Fountain. For a minimum $250 donation, the first 500 supporters will be accepted into this unique group. It is a simple concept: Together we can Achieve Greatness, creatively establishing the T.A.G. Team!
Boots and Bling
Boots and Bling is the signature event of the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation and has developed the reputation for being the best FUNdraising party in Kansas. Held annually in August, it is filled with music, fun, live and silent auction opportunities, and great food and drinks! You can join the party – all in your cowboys Boots with a little Bling!
Table sponsorships have sold out quickly each year, so be sure to reserve your table today so that you don’t miss out on all the fun! GEM level sponsorships provide additional benefits and include one or more tables depending on the level of sponsorship. Consider a GEM level sponsorship for more BLING and more FUN!
Foundation Benches
Foundation Benches are a beautiful way to pay tribute towards a loved one. A tribute doesn’t always require a loss of life. While it is wonderful to memorialize your loved ones, sometimes it’s great to appreciate the life of someone still with us, including for an anniversary, a birthday, or even a celebration for new beginnings. Just like the Fair, these benches serve as a reminder that the best memories are shared.
