State Fair

The Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson attracts more than 300,000 people of all ages, giving KU an opportunity to showcase the advantages of being a Jayhawk and how the school serves the state. Be sure to stop by to ask questions, grab giveaways, and register for drawings to win KU prizes. We'll see you there!
