Founded in 2003, the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the cherished memories and traditions uniquely found at the Kansas State Fair and its year-round events on the Kansas State Fairgrounds. As a self-supporting fee-fund state agency, the Kansas State Fair relies on minimal state funding. Despite its rich history, the fair requires additional funds for upgrading aging facilities, constructing new ones, and supporting educational programs, all while preserving the timeless traditions of the Kansas State Fair.
Boots and Bling stands as the flagship event of the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation, earning a reputation as the ultimate FUNdraising soirée in Kansas. With fantastic music, delectable food, and a night of enjoyment – all in your stylish cowboy Boots with a touch of Bling!
This lively gathering brings together individuals from across the state, united by a shared commitment to champion the mission of the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation: inspiring excellence and fostering understanding of Kansas agriculture, industry, and culture through the Kansas State Fair, diverse activities, educational programs, and opportunities. It's truly a celebration of supporting the Kansas State Fair and ensuring that families can create cherished memories at the Fair for generations to come.
